A brief history of the chest of drawers
Its name says it all: it was born to be "convenient," replacing deep trunks where everything was piled in a jumble. Emerging during the reign of Louis XIV, it was such a prestigious display piece that it often stood in receiving bedrooms rather than in wardrobes. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution that finally allowed one to access their belongings without emptying everything out. Whether called a "sauteuse" chest (on high legs) or a "tombeau" chest, it is defined by its generous top and its facade, structured by two or three rows of drawers.
