About the Item

We present this elegant antique Italian chest of drawers dating back to the mid-18th century, Louis XV period. An extremely refined chest of drawers, whose characteristics suggest that it was made in the cabinet-making workshops of northern Italy, particularly in the Liguria region. Made of solid fruit wood, a very particular wood: the carob tree. The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) is an evergreen fruit tree belonging to the legume family. Its fruits, the carobs, are flattened and elongated pods, dark brown in color, and have a sweet flavor. This wood was split and used in ancient times by Italian cabinet-makers, particularly in the Liguria region, for the production of high-quality furniture, highly appreciated for its hardness.

The decoration is clearly classic in taste, personalizing the chest of drawers without weighing it down excessively. When purchasing chests of drawers of this value, it is necessary to consider the high quality of the cabinetmaking. Each small piece of inlay has been meticulously handcrafted using wood essences of different shades to obtain the refined decoration present!

From a functional point of view, it is equipped with three comfortable drawers covered in paper.
