This vintage chest of drawers stands out with its dark wood veneer, golden metal handles, and black legs. The straight lines and the contrast between wood and metal give it a modernist, sleek, and graphic look. With its three drawers, it offers practical storage without weighing down the room. This second-hand piece combines warm materials with graphic details, in a very current flea market spirit. Length: 90 cm Width: 45 cm Height: 72.5 cm Drawer height: 13 cm A little history of the chest of drawers Its name says it all: it was born to be “easy,” replacing deep chests where everything was haphazardly stacked. Appearing 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 easy access to belongings without having to empty everything. Whether called a “tall chest of drawers” [on high legs] or a “tomb chest,” it is defined by its generous top and a façade rhythmically arranged with two or three rows of drawers.
