The brides’ chest
Once given at weddings, this piece accompanied the young bride into her new home. It held her trousseau, her precious fabrics and the objects that symbolised the beginning of a new life.
Its black patina deeply marked by time, its original fittings and its carrying rings give it a rare presence. Behind its sober front are several drawers offering storage as discreet as it is practical, without taking anything from the charm and authenticity of the piece.
Today it finds its place naturally in an entrance, a living room, a bedroom or a study. Both storage furniture and a sought-after antique, it brings to an interior that soul that only antique pieces know how to transmit.
