The traditional design of the Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured the enrichment of ornament and outline, the Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translations of this significant architectural movement. As Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture, a full complement of bases, cornices, and pediments emerged, transforming cabinets, dressers, and other case pieces into scaled-down architectural compositions.
The multi-functional Old World Master Chest provides versatile storage in the bedroom. The chest is actually two separate pieces: the bottom section, with two drawers and two cabinets, has a finished top of plain cherry veneer so that it can be used as a stand-alone piece, and the top four-drawer section has two adjustable shelves behind each door. The upper piece also includes a hidden valet behind the touch latch end panel with a ring roll, four hooks, and nine lined tray niches. The left upper cabinet is mounted with a mirror on the inside of the door. Both sections have the elegant traditional detailing that is the signature of the Old World Collection: acanthus leaf carving, a gracefully shaped silhouette, sunburst veneers, and a hand-rubbed and burnished pomegranate finish.

Warranty
Subject to the limitations and exclusions described herein, the Company warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a term of one (1) year from the date of purchase by the original purchaser (dealer). Finish Information: The Company’s products are offered in a variety of finishes. Each piece is finished by hand and involves a variety of steps. While we strive to replicate each finish to a standard, each piece will be unique due to the individual attention each order receives. This is a result of the varying application techniques that are hand-crafted. Other variations in wood such as species, grain, and color have their own impact on the final look of your finished frame. Because the finishing process is completed on demand, it is preferable to finish simultaneously to match a finish between pieces. Striping or accenting is available on certain items. This is a very labor-intensive manual process and the look will vary from piece to piece.
