This patinated white wooden chest of drawers seduces with its Louis XV style and country spirit, enhanced by the softness of a light finish. Its wood provides a warm texture, while its three drawers offer comfortable storage for linen, accessories, or everyday papers. In a bedroom or an entryway, it converses with natural materials, an antique mirror, or a few ceramic objects placed on its top. Its proportions easily accommodate a lamp, a catch-all, and a stack of books. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of wear. Length: 114 cm Width: 49 cm Height: 86 cm Drawer height: 14 cm A brief history of the chest of drawers Its name says it all: it was born to be "convenient," replacing deep chests where everything was piled haphazardly. Appearing during the reign of Louis XIV, it was a prestigious piece of furniture so grand that it often sat in reception rooms rather than in wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed access to belongings without emptying everything out. Whether called a "high-footed commode" or a "tomb commode," it is defined by its generous top and a front rhythmically adorned with two or three rows of drawers.
