About the Item

A large solid walnut chest of drawers with light inlaid motifs, Louis XV, Italian cabinetmaking, Piedmont region, mid-18th century The elegant curves of the Louis XV style continue to captivate collectors and design enthusiasts alike, with their alternating rhythm of graceful and dynamic lines. In this rejection of straight edges lies the emotional undercurrent of a European era marked by upheaval—wars, epidemics, and revolutions that nevertheless could not hinder art from reaching an extraordinary level of refinement and complexity. This mid-18th-century chest of drawers is a remarkable example of how style was interpreted regionally, shaped by local traditions and aesthetic sensibilities. Crafted in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, it is made entirely of beautifully aged solid walnut. The value of this piece lies not only in its age but in the exquisite marquetry that adorns its surfaces. A series of floral-inspired motifs embellishes the front, sides, and top, meticulously inlaid in lighter wood tones. What truly distinguishes the craftsmanship is the hand-applied shading, achieved through an age-old technique of hot sand burning. This method creates a striking trompe-l'œil effect, imbuing the inlays with a sense of volume and casting the illusion of shadows, as if lit from a side source. The structure itself, with its undulating sides and front, follows the harmonious proportions and flowing lines that define the best interpretations of the Louis XV style. The piece has undergone a careful professional restoration, with particular attention paid to the finish, executed entirely by hand using natural, traditional materials.
