The generous dimensions of 131 cm wide, 59 cm deep and 93 cm high provide ample storage space, combining functionality and aesthetics. Excellent Condition and Authenticity Guaranteed Despite its centuries of history, the dresser is in excellent overall condition. The original patina has been preserved, enhancing the authentic charm of the piece. The minimal signs of time add character and testify to its authenticity, making it a distinctive item for collectors and lovers of vintage design.
