Magnificent 1933 Brazilian Empire-style Chest of Drawers
About the Item
This 1933 Brazilian Empire-style chest of drawers is a stunning example of classic craftsmanship, blending the grandeur of Empire aesthetics with Brazilian hardwood's rich character. Constructed from solid jacaranda or rosewood, its warm patina and beautifully figured grain emphasize its timeless elegance and durability.
The chest features a two-over-three drawer configuration, with two smaller top drawers and three spacious lower drawers, each adorned with original turned wooden knobs. The front columns, a hallmark of the Empire style, are adorned with intricate hand-carved foliate motifs, gracefully tapering into turned legs, adding a sense of refinement and structural solidity.
A delicately scalloped apron at the base further enhances the chest's visual appeal, creating a harmonious balance between ornamentation and functional design. The construction remains sturdy and well-preserved, a testament to the superior materials and meticulous joinery.
This rare and well-proportioned Brazilian Empire revival piece is a remarkable acquisition for collectors, interior designers, or antique enthusiasts seeking an authentic representation of early 20th-century Brazilian craftsmanship with deep historical and aesthetic significance.
