Description from the seller
Absolutely fantastic and rare chest for storing liqueur bottles, circa 1800.
Of European origin, very likely Italian.
Made of wood covered with painted leather, with polychrome and gilded decoration, featuring nailhead trim, and interior lined with 'capitonné' fabric. The chest is structurally very solid; however, it should be noted that when opening the lid, it does not stay open and must be supported.
Inside, there are four glass bottles decorated with gold floral designs. These are 19th-century bottles.
Two bottle caps with defects.
Dimensions
Chest: 22.5 cm height x 45 cm width x 20 cm depth.
Bottles: 19 cm height x 9 cm width x 6 cm depth.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
