About the Item

An elegant Italian Directoire chest of drawers from the late 18th century, originating from the Emilia Romagna region and crafted entirely in solid walnut. This refined piece reflects the transitional aesthetic between Neoclassicism and Empire, combining simplicity of line with a quiet sense of proportion and order. The chest features three spacious drawers with original circular brass escutcheons, enhancing the warmth and depth of the walnut’s natural grain. The slightly overhanging top, clean edges, and tapered legs contribute to its architectural balance and understated sophistication. The rich patina, developed over centuries, lends authenticity and depth to its surface, highlighting the craftsmanship typical of northern Italian furniture of the period. Both functional and decorative, this chest embodies the harmony, restraint, and timeless beauty of the Directoire style, making it a distinguished and versatile addition to any classic or contemporary interior.
