A brief history of the chest of drawers
Its name says it all: it was born to be "convenient," replacing deep chests where everything was piled together haphazardly. Appearing during the reign of Louis XIV, it was a display piece so prestigious that it often sat in reception rooms rather than dressing rooms. It introduced the sliding drawer, a revolution 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 punctuated by two or three rows of drawers.
