A broad top extends beyond the case on either side, creating a subtle architectural gesture and giving the piece a sense of horizontality beyond that of a traditional chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1hpqcdg x1ekroe6 xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 xkyrhof x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw x1tbvfm1 xb72syl x1iew0xx x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\"\u003eWrapped in highly lacquered birdseye maple, the surface carries a deep, reflective gloss that brings out the natural pattern and movement of the wood. The figure changes with the light, shifting between warmth and reflection while maintaining its overall form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1hpqcdg x1ekroe6 xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 xkyrhof x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw x1tbvfm1 xb72syl x1iew0xx x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\"\u003eIt is the overhanging surface that defines how the piece lives in a room. In an entryway, it creates a natural landing place while allowing the chest to read more like a console than a conventional dresser. Along a wall, the extended top establishes a strong horizontal line and gives the piece room to breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x1hpqcdg x1ekroe6 xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 xkyrhof x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw x1tbvfm1 xb72syl x1iew0xx x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj\"\u003eThe Saporiti Italia maker’s mark remains visible on the back, grounding the piece in its Italian provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Saporiti Italia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1950 by Mr. Sergio Saporiti and still managed by the Saporiti family, Saporiti Italia has contributed to the creation of milestones in the history of Italian design. Catching time off balance and anticipating the future are both the challenge and the vocation of Saporiti Italia. Each item created and constructed by the company is slightly ahead of its time, and it is destined to last, both in form and function, until the next era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48029916823863,"sku":"SQ7422318","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/products\/20231228_SLL_315.jpg?v=1706578404","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/italian-birdseye-maple-chest-of-drawers-by-saporiti-italia-1970s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
