Doncaster Two-Drawer Chest

The Doncaster Two-Drawer Chest by John Richard is a study in the quiet drama of figured and birds eye maple veneers, their natural patterning elevated to something almost painterly beneath a polished finish that catches light with architectural precision. Stainless metal hardware introduces a cool, considered counterpoint to the warmth of the wood, a tension that speaks to the best of contemporary classicism. At twenty-six and a half inches high and thirty-six inches wide, the proportions are deliberate — generous enough to command a room, restrained enough to defer to it.
