Description
This piece represents the perfect marriage of history and modern utility. Originally crafted as a traditional antique dowry chest or travel trunk, it has been thoughtfully re-imagined by De-cor. We preserved the original intricate inlay work but solved the “usability” problem by converting the fixed front panel into two functional drawers. We then mounted the entire chest on a custom-welded iron stand, giving it height and an airy, floating presence. Measuring 35″ x 21″ x 27″H, this piece retains all the charm of the original artifact. The surface is covered in a delicate “speckled” inlay pattern, framed by bold geometric borders. The new drawers offer practical storage for bedside essentials without needing to clear the table top to open a lid. The sleek black metal stand provides a contemporary contrast to the warm, aged wood, blending the old
world with the new.
Add this inlay chest as stunning entryway piece for keys and mail. The inlay makes a strong first impression, while the raised stand keeps the hallway feeling open or use it as a sofa table, the 27″ height aligns perfectly with most modern sofa arms.
