Great looking 7 Drawer multi-color chest. Rustic with a fun cottage charm. Hand made in Mexico from solid pine wood. Destined to become a conversation piece in your Mexican bedroom, living room, or office, the Madras Chest is simply delightful. It calls to mind travels through exotic lands, and inspires all sorts of possibilities. Protective multi color varnishes and washes give it a lovely allure.
Here's why we call it Madras:
Though we know there is no place called Madras, Mexico, the beautiful color blocks on the front of this piece remind us of Indian Madras cloth. Patchwork madras is made by cutting a number of madras plaid fabrics into strips, then sewing them back as 3-inch squares. The pattern that results is a mix of various plaids crisscrossing. Lovely, don't you think?
