AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco chest of drawers with mirror, made in the 1940s in splendid walnut burl, carefully selected and arranged in symmetric compositions that enhance the grain. The structure features soft, enveloping lines, with rounded corners and distinctive side and front wings. The top drawer is directly pull-out, while opening the side doors provides access to the three large lower drawers. The handles are refined with a geometric design and there are stainless steel accents on the feet, underscoring its Deco character. The top preserves the original shaped glass, complete with the cutout intended to support the mirror. The latter, fixed to the back of the structure, presents an elegant slender form with a shaped upper profile and beveled edges. Locks functioning, key not present. A piece of notable construction quality, striking yet perfectly functional.
Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
