With its splayed feet and Scandinavian-inspired lines, this light wood dresser adds a contemporary touch with a soft appeal. Hand-stripped with care, it reveals a luminous wood, enhanced by black-painted edges that emphasize its silhouette. Its drawers, with comfortable proportions, provide practical storage for clothes, papers, or daily essentials. Its measured size allows it to fit into a bedroom, living room, or even an entryway, with a lamp and a few books placed on top. Topped with a ceramic vase and a round mirror, it creates a simple and elegant decor. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: the right closet board could be replaced for added sturdiness, but it easily comes off if ever one wishes to replace it. Width: 103 cm Depth: 40 cm Height: 81 cm Drawer height: 14.5 cm A brief history of the dresser Its name says it all: it was born to be "handy," replacing the deep chests where everything was piled haphazardly. Emerging during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious piece of furniture that it often resided in reception rooms rather than wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed one to access their belongings without emptying everything. Whether referred to as a "jumping dresser" [on high feet] or a "tomb dresser," it is defined by its generous top and its front marked by two or three rows of drawers.
