Neoclassical Chest with Drawers with Fruitwood Inlays, Italy, Late 18th Century

An elegant example of late 18th-century Italian craftsmanship: This neoclassical commode combines architectural clarity with refined marquetry details.

The two large drawers and the shallow top drawer are adorned with symmetrical and floral inlays crafted from various fruitwoods, set into a warm walnut veneer. The same ornamental motifs continue across the sides and the top, creating a cohesive and fully decorative presence.

Original brass fittings and keyhole escutcheons enhance its historic character, while the tapered, fluted legs reflect the influence of the Louis XVI style—typical of the neoclassical aesthetic.

A sophisticated collector’s piece, uniting authenticity, utility, and decorative finesse.
