The bedroom is the only room in the house you don't show guests. It's yours alone. And perhaps that's why, more than any other, it deserves a piece you love to look at every morning.

This five-drawer vintage chest of drawers is in the Napoleon III style, a time when furniture stopped hiding its wood and began to flaunt it. Black structure, burl wood fronts: the contrast that made this style famous and remains just as contemporary today.

The drawer fronts are veneered in burl wood, with that knotty, warm grain that no plain wood can imitate. Above them are brass handles with rosettes. The top features natural wood framed in black, the sides have visible wood panels, and the lower apron is cut in volutes above turned legs. Each drawer is dovetailed, as were those made to last generations.

It measures 120 cm wide, 59 cm deep, and 96 cm high: a chest of drawers with ample drawers, designed for the master bedroom, but also perfect for a hallway or under a mirror in the entrance.

No two are alike. No restocking will be available.

── WHAT WE LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS PIECE ──

→ The contrast between the black of the structure and the burl wood of the fronts. It's what transforms a chest of drawers into a piece with character: sober on the outside, warm when you look closely.

→ The grain of the burl wood. No two drawers have the same pattern, because burl wood is never repeated. It's wood that tells its own story on each front.

→ Five true drawers. Two at the top for small items, three at the bottom for larger ones. It stores a lot and does so with an elegance that new furniture simply can't offer.

── RESTORED AND CUSTOMIZED IN OUR WORKSHOP IN NAVALCARNERO, MADRID ──

We inspect the structure and the smooth operation of all five drawers, adjusting as necessary to ensure they open and close smoothly. We hand-sand the wood and customize the finish of the structure in black, respecting and showcasing the natural burl wood fronts and top, which give the piece its life.

The brass handles are firm, the drawers function well, and the piece stands stably on its turned legs. It arrives ready to take its place.

A piece selected and restored by Antique Arte y Decoración — specializing since 2015 in antique furniture, with its own workshop in Navalcarnero and serving over 3,500 families throughout Spain.
