Heirloom 19th Century Inlay Chest w/Drop Down Door

Details

A rare artifact, remastered for modern luxury. This was once a traditional dowry chest, sealed and accessed only from the top. In the De-cor Studio, we have re-imagined its destiny. We carefully modified the front panel to create a drop-down door, preserving the integrity of the antique inlay while unlocking a completely new level of functionality. Mounted on a custom iron stand, it now floats above the floor, transforming heavy storage into an airy, architectural statement. Measuring 36" x 18" x 26"H, this piece is a jewel box of history. The surface is adorned with traditional bone inlay, but the magic lies in the mechanism. The front panel lowers smoothly to reveal a spacious interior—perfect for storing bottles and glassware as a chic low bar, or hiding media components beneath a television. The custom metal stand provides a modern industrial counterpoint to the romantic, old-world artistry of the chest. Style this at your home as a bedroom console, It sits perfectly at the foot of a Queen bed. Store extra linens inside, with the top surface free for a throw blanket or books.
