Description
We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we strive to provide you with detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our pieces.
This elegant and refined French chest of drawers features two spacious and deep drawers. The handles, made of cast bronze, are finely crafted with intricate details. To maintain height symmetry, each drawer is adorned with a decorative faux keyhole. The top is embellished with a delicately contoured edge, while the slightly cabriole legs seamlessly integrate into the structure. Thanks to its well-balanced proportions, this chest of drawers can also be used as a large bedside table.
Crafted in the Neoclassical Louis XV style between 1760 and 1764 by an artisan workshop in Liffon-le-Grand, a town in the Vosges department of the Grand Est region of France, an area renowned for its woodworking tradition. Although it was made during the reign of Louis XV, from 1750 until the king’s death, a new furniture style began to emerge, known in France as Louis XVI and throughout Europe as Neoclassical. This style drew inspiration from classical antiquity, emphasizing harmony and proportion, favoring straight lines, and reducing ornamentation. The refined and orderly Louis XVI Neoclassical style was officially recognized even before the king’s coronation in 1774.
Its balanced proportions, symmetry, and ideal dimensions make this piece a valuable and versatile addition to any interior. The chest of drawers has been meticulously restored by a skilled cabinetmaker in Florence, Italy, using traditional woodworking techniques passed down through generations—an expertise that, unfortunately, is becoming increasingly rare. Thanks to this careful restoration, the piece is in excellent condition.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
