Italian Cabinet, 17th Century
Nothing evokes the Italian Renaissance better than these small travel cabinets with their refined decorations and precious materials.
In an elegant marquetry of fruit woods, gilded bronze elements and tortoiseshell motifs enliven this cabinet on which the light plays beautifully.
Standing on six ball feet, our Italian cabinet has ten drawers while in the center a door mounted on an interesting system of hinges is framed by four twisted columns in turned wood.
Putto and grotesques joyfully animate this space locked by a its original key.
In excellent condition, this rare cabinet shows an Italian refinement and a taste for preciousness that the connoisseur will appreciate.
