Violin-Shaped Chest of Drawers, as Graceful as a Waltz Turn

Louis Philippe Chest of Drawers, Early 19th Century: Timeless Elegance and Harmony

A rare Piedmontese chest of drawers from the Louis Philippe period (first half of the 19th century), featuring a refined walnut and walnut burl veneer, enriched by a precious Carrara marble top. The curved sides, known as “guitar-shaped” or “violin-shaped,” add fluidity and lightness to the structure, while the finely carved cartouche feet highlight the craftsmanship of the era.

An expression of the Louis Philippe style, designed to meet the tastes of the rising bourgeoisie with comfortable yet elegant interiors, this chest of drawers masterfully combines functionality and aesthetic refinement. Its soft, welcoming lines make it a versatile piece, perfect for both classic settings and modern spaces seeking character and authenticity.

A piece that needs no explanation to be admired: the quality of the materials, the finesse of the carvings, and the beauty of the wood grain speak for themselves. A true symbol of the finest 19th-century antique furniture, capable of adding personality to any environment and representing an ethical and sustainable choice for those who appreciate furnishing with taste and respect for history.
