Description
We kindly encourage you to read the entire description, as it provides detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items.
This elegant and understated French wooden chest of drawers is made entirely of exceptionally high-quality oak. This type of wood, known for its rich color, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and durability, is highly prized in high-end furniture. The natural grain of oak, always unique, gives the dresser an elegant, refined, and distinctive appearance. The chest features two drawers beneath the top and two larger ones at the bottom. Between the top two drawers is a faux lock, added solely for decorative purposes. The six-ring handles, made of cast bronze, depict a Greek amphora with anthropomorphic handles. The drawer fronts and sides of the chest are adorned with elegant bronze trim. The four tapered legs fluted downwards, extend upwards with decorations that further enhance the cabinet's aesthetics. The rectangular top is exquisitely shaped, especially at the front corners. It is crafted from "Bianco Gioia Venato" marble from Carrara, a material quarried in the Apuan Alps and universally recognized as one of the finest marbles in the world. This variety of marble, with a hue so elegant it seems almost ethereal, was chosen by some of the greatest sculptors and artists in history, including Michelangelo, Donatello, Bernini, and Canova, for their most renowned works. The dresser was crafted between 1910 and 1915 in the Louis XVI style at a workshop in Lyon, a city that has been an important center of furniture production since the 17th century. Lyon was renowned for its Renaissance and Rococo-style furniture, produced by numerous factories and craftsmen who created high-quality pieces on commission for wealthy local families. The Louis XVI style, which originated in France in the last decades of the 18th century, quickly spread throughout Europe, winning favor with the public for its classical and elegant lines, in contrast to the asymmetry and abundance of decorative elements typical of the Rococo and Louis XV styles that dominated the previous era. A key element of the Louis XVI style is a renewed interest in the themes of classical Greek and Roman culture, leading to linear forms, geometric composure, symmetrical decoration, and references to antiquity. Garlands, laurel leaves, friezes, floral motifs, mythological inlays, columns, and capitals were combined with luxurious materials such as fine woods, gilded bronze, and marble, in a formal synthesis that reflected the new tastes of the time, which came to be known as Louis XVI. Even today, furniture in this style is synonymous with elegance and prestige. The chest of drawers is in good condition. Dimensions: width 109 cm, depth 50 cm, height 85 cm.
For all our shipments, we use special packing materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.

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.
