A superb little workshop chest (for a jeweler or watchmaker) in black-painted wood, opening to reveal a large upper compartment and twelve drawers in the front. Each drawer retains its original knobs, with only two having been replaced over time, attesting to its intensive use in the workshop. The inside of the lid reveals a glued-on vintage photograph—a touching detail that enhances the intimate and authentic character of the piece. A solid and charming piece, with just the right amount of worn patina.
