Rare 19th Century French Louis-Philippe Tall Chest in Hand-Selected Walnut

About the Item

An exceptional example of 19th-century French cabinetmaking, this Louis-Philippe tall chest combines understated elegance with superb craftsmanship. Crafted circa 1880 in the Loire Valley, it is made of solid walnut, carefully selected for its rich tone and expressive grain. Its refined vertical silhouette opens to six perfectly aligned drawers, framed with subtle mouldings and fitted with original brass knobs and two functional keys. Each drawer glides smoothly—testament to the precision of the joinery: traditional dovetails and mortise-and-tenon construction ensure both beauty and structural integrity. The chest rests on elegant moulded feet and is topped with a solid walnut surface, making it as functional as it is decorative. Its noble proportions and timeless lines reflect the best of the Louis-Philippe aesthetic—restrained, symmetrical, and impeccably made. Never restored, only gently cleaned to preserve its authentic patina, this piece remains in very good original condition. A true heirloom-quality piece, perfect for elevating any interior—bedroom, entryway, or refined office.
