Mid-19th Century, Late Empire Mahogany Chest of Drawers with Four Drawers, 1840s
This refined late Empire chest of drawers is an elegant example of mid-19th-century furniture design, characterized by its classical lines and balanced proportions. The piece is likely crafted in mahogany, showcasing the warm, rich tones and distinctive flame or striped grain typical of high-quality mahogany veneer. Made by a Danish Cabinetmaker in the 1850s.
The chest features four drawers of varying sizes, with the top drawer often slightly smaller than the others, offering practical and generous storage. The clean, structured silhouette and understated decoration reflect the Empire style’s emphasis on formality and timeless elegance.
With its dark wood finish and strong architectural presence, this chest is ideally suited for traditional interiors but also works beautifully in more modern settings as a statement piece. It embodies the enduring appeal of historic design and craftsmanship.
This fine chest of drawers will complement many interior styles, including an Antique, Modern, Vintage, Classic, Neoclassical, and Traditional decor.
