With its arrow-shaped line and patinated white finish, this wooden dresser adds a touch of softness to a countryside-inspired interior. Its three drawers provide valuable storage for linens, tablecloths, or everyday accessories, while the height of the drawers facilitates organization. The Louis XVI design gives it a classic look, easy to pair with an antique mirror, some wicker baskets, or a ceramic lamp. In a bedroom or an entryway, it willingly accommodates a catch-all tray, a dried flower bouquet, or a stack of books. Sourced from a flea market, it retains a beautiful patina that highlights the character of the wood and the elegance of its painted finish. Length: 88 cm Width: 46 cm Height: 80 cm Drawer height: 13 cm A brief history of the dresser Its name says it all: it was born to be "handy," replacing deep chests where everything was haphazardly piled. Appearing during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious showcase piece that it often stood in reception rooms rather than in wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed access to one's belongings without having to empty everything. Whether called a "jumping dresser" [on tall legs] or a "tomb dresser," it is defined by its generous top and a façade rhythmically adorned with two or three rows of drawers.
