Tall Black Lacquered Elmwood Chest with Six Drawers and Wooden Pulls

About the Item

Crafted from darkly lacquered elm, this tall chest of drawers features clean lines and solid proportions, with a focus on practicality and pared-down elegance. The rectangular top, slightly overhanging, rests above a well-balanced arrangement of six drawers—two narrow ones across the top, followed by four full-width below—each fitted with turned wooden pulls. The deep black lacquer finish enhances the natural grain and lends a soft reflective quality that catches the light without overwhelming the form. Subtle beveled edges and recessed panels on the sides add a degree of depth, while the back remains plain and unfinished, in keeping with traditional cabinetmaking methods. The entire piece sits on a low-profile plinth base that supports the generous height. This chest offers substantial concealed storage while keeping a refined, architectural silhouette. It’s easy to imagine this piece anchoring a bedroom with sculptural presence, used as a tall dresser, or in a study or hallway for extra storage where vertical space is at a premium. Its straightforward shape and rich finish also allow it to pair easily with both antique and more modern interiors.
