Know before you buy
This is an authentic Mid-19th century Louis Philippe chest, meaning it is a genuine antique piece rather than a modern reproduction.
As an antique, the piece features the natural character and patina expected of 19th-century walnut burl. The black marble top is polished and serves as a durable, elegant surface, though you should expect the subtle, unique variations inherent to natural stone.
No, this piece arrives fully assembled. You can place it in your space immediately upon delivery.
To preserve the walnut burl, use a soft, dry cloth for dusting and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For the marble top, wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining and use coasters to protect the stone from acidic liquids or scratches.
No, this is a traditional antique piece and does not feature modern drawer mechanisms like soft-close glides or felt lining. The drawers operate according to the original construction methods of the Louis Philippe era.
