Empire Chest of Drawers

📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Anchor your room with the solid, timeless presence of the “Empire” chest. This piece has a sense of history and gravitas, its strong, rectilinear form and heavy-molding inspired by classic Empire and Biedermeier design. The three spacious drawers offer practical storage, while the distressed black finish and antiqued drop-pulls give it a rustic, time-worn character. Set on a sturdy plinth base with bracket feet, this is a versatile, masculine piece that works as a nightstand, in a living room, or as a classic bedroom dresser.

🪑 MATERIAL COMPOSITION

Primary Frame: Solid Mahogany Wood | Joinery: Dado, Rabbet, and Dovetail drawers | Finish: Distressed Black paint |

🎨 COLOR PROFILE

A faded, distressed Black with a matte-to-satin finish. Lighter brown wood undertones are visible on the edges and high-wear areas.

🌟 DESIGN RATIONALE

This design is a rustic take on the neoclassical Empire style. It strips away ornate carving, focusing instead on strong, “architectural” elements: the thick overhanging top, the simple inset drawers, and the solid, grounded bracket-foot base.
