Elegant Chest | Solid Wood | Traditional Joinery
This elegant chest is made entirely out of solid hardwoods and is built to last a life time. The chest was designed to showcase the natural beauty of the three chosen woods, Wenge, Sipo Mahogany and Cherry. The chest features beautiful solid sipo mahogany panels whose grain seems almost holographic when viewed from varying angels. The stunning mahogany panels are capped by elegantly shaped solid cherry panel caps, which add a nice warm contrast to the deep rich tones of the mahogany. Complimenting the warmth of the mahogany and cherry are the top/bottom panel frames and feet of the chest which are shaped out of solid Wenge, a very durable and dense african hardwood characterized by its black appearance. The chest's timeless elegant lines and deep rich tones provide for an intriguing and inviting piece, which is sure to become a family heirloom. No stains or dies were used in the finishing of this piece and all colors seen are the natural colors of the wood, which will continue to deepen and enrich over the years. Dimensions: 39"L x 21"W x 23"H This chest is part of my Elegant line of furniture.
