About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Neapolitan chest of drawers is a masterful example of Italian decorative cabinetry, distinguished by its rich walnut veneer and refined plum wood inlays. The gracefully bowed front houses four drawers, two narrower ones above and two full-width below—each framed with intricate geometric inlay work that subtly enhances the natural movement of the wood grain. The contrast between the warm tones of the walnut and the reddish hue of the plum wood creates depth and sophistication, while the original oval brass escutcheons and hardware add a touch of classic refinement. Delicate tapering legs and a slightly arched apron lend an architectural elegance to the piece, balancing its solid form with lightness and poise. This chest reflects the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of 19th-century Naples, where attention to materials and ornamentation was paramount. Ideal for a bedroom, living room, or foyer, it offers timeless style, practical storage, and a rare expression of southern Italian artistry.
