The India Silk Serpentine Chest

Availability: 8-10 weeks

The India Silk Serpentine Chest from Theodore Alexander's Althorp Living History collection moves with the unhurried confidence of a piece that understands its own lineage — the undulating serpentine front drawing the eye along a rhythm that is at once restless and composed. Khaya wood and its veneer form the body, joined by okoume veneer in a layered surface treatment that rewards close attention, the grain lending a quiet depth to the finished form. At forty-three inches wide and thirty-two inches tall, the chest occupies a room with the authority of a considered architectural moment rather than a mere storage solution.
