With its dark wood and simple lines, this small country-style chest of drawers brings a sober and warm touch to the home. Its four drawers provide well-thought-out storage for linens, accessories, or some daily papers. Its format allows it to be installed in a bedroom, an entryway, or a corner office. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of wear. Length: 57 cm Width: 40 cm Height: 75 cm Drawer height: 11 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 up haphazardly. Emerging during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious piece of furniture that it often graced reception rooms rather than wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed people to access their belongings without emptying everything out. Whether called a "high-legged chest of drawers" or a "tomb chest," it is defined by its generous top and a façade rhythmized by two or three rows of drawers.
