French 17th Century Chest – Louis XIII Style – Oak & Cherrywood with Original Hinges

This beautiful 17th-century French chest is an authentic piece of Louis XIII-style furniture, crafted in the 1600s. Built from solid oak with cherrywood panels, it features striking hand-carved diamond motifs and the original forged iron hinges — still functional after centuries.
