Henredon Villa Borghese Louis XVI Style Italian Fruitwood Carved Double Dresser

Description

The Henredon Villa Borghese Collection double dresser is a premium furnishing that blends French Neoclassical architecture with Italian styling. The expansive top panel features a smooth fruitwood surface with a warm, medium-brown finish. The dresser's sides showcase dramatically figured burl wood panels inset within molded borders, creating a striking contrast with the structural fluted corner posts that feature beaded ring accents. The piece is supported by robust, tapered round arrow legs adorned with crisp vertical fluting and a ring of intricately carved acanthus leaves wrapping around the upper collars.

The front of the dresser is composed of six deep, wide dovetailed drawer fronts heavily decorated with continuous, high-relief foliage and floral scrollwork framed by a classic beaded border. Each drawer is outfitted with its original ornate, embossed brass medallion pulls and a central decorative keyhole escutcheon. Inside, the storage is cleverly configured for organization; the left column contains three standard open drawers with a single central vertical wood divider in the bottom two drawers, while the right column's top drawer is upgraded with four permanent vertical dividers to create four distinct small compartments perfect for organizing accessories as well a lower divided drawer below. Given its divided design this piece could double as a buffet, sideboard or console.
