You know the myth of the lonely bachelor - he's a little fusty, probably wearing a cardigan and is puttering around his cluttered pad. But if that bachelor has the Tuscan Villa Bachelors Chest, well, you can forget about that image. This little chest packs a rich, Tuscan-inspired style that's all classic elegance - think Cary Grant or Humphrey Bogart. What's more, it's entirely practical.
The chest starts with durable, full-of-character pin-knotty cherry wood and rich walnut veneers, hand-selected and matched by color and wood grain to create a seamless, consistent look. Veneers are stronger and more durable than solid wood as they resist shrinking, swelling, warping and cracking. They're finished here in a warm,ﾠrustic Umbrian Brown, which enhances the natural beautyﾠ-ﾠand natural imperfectionsﾠ-ﾠof the wood veneers.
The chest's three roomy drawers are ideally sized and situated to catch small items like belts or pocket squares. Place it next to the bed and it becomes an ideal nightstand with plenty of space for bedside essentials. Each drawer features wood sides and backs with veneer bottomsﾠ-ﾠveneers are durable and less likely to warp over time and in humidity changes. The drawer bottoms are stained and sealed to protect materials placed inside. English dovetail construction creates smooth edges, and stop blocks are nailed and glued behind each drawer to ensure the drawer stops solidly and in the proper position.
Custom-designed solid brass hardware with a heavily carved leaf design adds a little rich gleam to the chest's shaped front. This bachelor's chest coordinates with other Tuscan Villa collection pieces.
