About the Item

Late 19th Century French Walnut and Burl Walnut Chest of Drawers – Loire Valley Elegant French walnut and burl walnut chest of drawers, dating from the late 19th century, in a clean late Louis-Philippe style announcing the transition towards the Belle Époque’s simpler lines. This piece showcases stunning mirrored burl walnut veneer with striking patterns and subtle luminous contrasts on each drawer front, while the chamfered-edge top displays fluid, warm walnut grain, pleasing to the eye and touch. It features four large drawers with original locks (later escutcheons), offering generous storage while maintaining a refined silhouette. Crafted in a workshop in the Loire Valley, it was originally commissioned for a local merchant’s bedroom in a stone house surrounded by vineyards, where it held lavender-scented linens, silk ribbons, and family papers through the seasons. Today, it fits seamlessly into a warm interior, whether in a country home, a Parisian apartment, or a contemporary setting, adding authentic warmth and character while providing practical storage. In very good condition, carefully maintained with a warm waxed patina, ready for use. Description: Width: 46.45 in (118 cm) Depth: 21.65 in (55 cm) Height: 37 in (94 cm)
