Bamboo Chest of Drawers

France, 20th Century

$2,295

Vintage Rare Sylvie Favorite

There’s something a little Riviera about this one. Found in Montpellier, it’s built from bamboo with woven panels across the top and sides, part of a mid-century shift when French interiors started leaning into lighter, more relaxed materials. Makers pulled from colonial trade routes and travel influence, bringing rattan and bamboo into everyday spaces as a counterpoint to heavier wood furniture. The frame is formed from thick bamboo poles with visible nodes, while the drawers are lined in narrow slats and finished with simple dark metal pulls. It’s structured, but still easy. Sylvie sees it in a sunlit room with open windows, holding a stack of books and a glass of water within reach.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

There is piece of the bamboo missing from the bottom right leg, where it meets the floor. The interior drawer bottoms where labeled by someone over the years with a black marker with numbers and letters. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
