The chest of drawers is characterized by the elegance of the shapes, less animated than the Piffetti production of the 1850s, as well as by the lozenge decoration, similar to that of other Piffetti furniture, used to hide the drawers and make the surface of the piece of furniture homogeneous. On the shelf there is a tromp-l'oeil that reproduces a quill, a small knife and a pair of glasses.
