Know before you buy
The white marble top is original to the piece and features carved rounded front corners. As an antique item from the 1800s, it may show minor signs of age-related wear, which adds to its authentic character.
The bleached finish highlights the natural grain of the solid wood. To maintain its appearance, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that could alter the wood's tone.
Yes, the three drawers are designed for standard storage. Because this is an antique piece, the drawers operate with a traditional wood-on-wood glide, which may feel different than modern soft-close hardware.
Yes, the chest features a straight back edge specifically designed to sit flush against a wall, ensuring a seamless look in your space.
The chest measures 45 inches wide by 23 inches deep. At 35 inches high, it is a standard dresser height that works well in bedrooms, hallways, or as a statement piece in a living area.
