Charles X Chest of Drawers, early 19th century – timeless elegance and harmony
Rare Piedmontese chest of drawers from the Charles X period, crafted with refined walnut and walnut burl veneering, topped with fine Carrara marble. The shaped sides, known as “guitar” or “violin” style, give sinuosity and lightness to the structure, while the carved cartouche-shaped feet highlight the artisanal mastery of the era.
An expression of the Louis-Philippe style—created to meet the taste of the emerging bourgeoisie seeking both comfort and elegance—this piece combines functionality with aesthetic refinement. Its soft, welcoming lines make it a versatile furnishing, perfect for classical interiors as well as modern spaces looking for character and authenticity.
A piece that needs no introduction: the quality of the materials, the precision of the carvings, and the natural beauty of the veneers speak for themselves. An authentic symbol of the finest 19th-century antiques, capable of bringing personality to any environment and representing an ethical and sustainable choice for those who love to furnish with taste and respect for history.
