Crafted from old wood, this chest of drawers stands out with its clean lines, balanced proportions, and magnificent deep black patina. The front panels framed by discreet moldings, traditional metal hardware, and double-leaf doors reflect the functional elegance characteristic of Shanxi furniture. Over time, the black finish has softened, revealing in places the warm nuances of the underlying wood and creating a rich and subtle play of textures.
Traces of wear, surface irregularities, marks left by daily use, and natural variations in the patina tell the story of this piece and highlight its authenticity. Every object we select embodies the Wabi-sabi spirit, celebrating the beauty of imperfections and the charm of materials shaped by time. Both understated and full of character, this chest of drawers brings depth, elegance, and presence to a contemporary interior as well as a more classic decor.
Please note that this piece is unique and exhibits variations in color, texture, patina, relief, and wear, which attest to its authenticity and history.
