Italian art deco burl walnut chest of drawers, 1930s The spectacular pattern of the walnut veneer used to sheathe every surface of this chest of drawers is breathtaking and showcases the exceptional skill of early twentieth century handcrafted wood makers in Italy. The unique character of this piece is accentuated by the curved corners and front with square top shape and the art deco shape of the supporting plinth base beneath. There are four spacious drawers with Bakelite and brass handles. There is one handle of the top drawers lacking of the bakelite detail. In great original condition, despite of some scratches/marks/natural wood cracks (seen on photos), consistent with age and use. It has been refreshed only with wax with its natural splendid patina after years. It is in the original condition, so, there are woodworm holes, mainly on the back and feet (seen on the photos). It is suggested to be treated for the better use. There are also defects on the left side (seen on photos). Measurement: Width 125.5cm x Height 91 cm x Length 59 cm Made in Italy. Period: 1930s
