Small Washed Wood Dresser | Cabriole Legs, 37 cm Deep

• Structurally inspected
• Custom color in our workshop
• Furniture ready for use

Very little fits in a narrow entryway. Almost never, a piece of furniture with drawers.

This small chest of drawers was made in Spain in the mid-20th century, based on the English model of the low chest of drawers with legs, the one they call a lowboy in England: drawers at hand height and four cabriole legs. It is a vintage piece and came from an antique dealer.

It has one long drawer on top and three small ones below, each with openwork brass handles and a drop handle: five in total.

The top has a gadrooned edge. On the front corners, two fluted half-columns with turned rings. Below, a skirt cut into curves and four cabriole legs with a faceted foot.

The tone is ours. In the workshop, the wood was washed: the body remains in a light pink, and the legs, in a paler tone. Inside, the drawers retain the unwashed reddish wood.

It measures 77 cm wide, 37 deep and 70 high, and weighs 20 kg.

In a narrow hallway, as an entryway piece. In a bedroom, as a small chest of drawers or dressing table.

At 70 cm high, it is at table height, below a console. If a mirror is hung above, it is better that it is not wider than it.

WHY THIS CHEST OF DRAWERS AND NOT ANOTHER

→ The depth. With 37 cm, four drawers fit where only a shelving unit would fit.

→ The openwork handles. Cut-out brass plate with a drop handle, the hardware of the English furniture. Five, and all identical.

→ The cabriole legs. They lift the body and leave the floor visible underneath: in a small space, the furniture looks lighter.
