A brief history of the chest of drawers
Its name says it all: it was created to be "convenient," replacing deep chests where everything was piled together haphazardly. Appearing during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious showpiece that it often sat in reception rooms rather than dressing rooms. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolutionary innovation that finally allowed access to one's belongings without emptying everything. Whether called a "jumping chest" (on tall legs) or a "tomb chest," it is defined by its generous top and a front featuring two or three rows of drawers.
