Description from the seller
Elegant display cabinet 'Mossa' in Venetian Baroque style
Description of the Lot
Here is a refined low display cabinet, a splendid example of artistic craftsmanship inspired by the Venetian 18th century. The cabinet features a highly dynamic, 'wavy' (curved) line, characterized by a lacquered structure in a deep Venetian red with sage green finishes and gold detailing.
The central body is dominated by a door featuring a circular porthole glass, giving the piece an original and almost theatrical appearance. On the sides, two mirrored open compartments with glass shelves offer additional display space, making the cabinet light and harmonious.
Artistic and Decorative Details:
• Decoration: Entirely hand-painted with polychrome floral motifs and rococo-style scrolls. The surface features a craquelé and antiqued finish that enhances its antique character.
• Structure: shaped base with shelf-style feet and a profiled upper surface that follows the curvature of the furniture.
• Versatility: Perfect as an entryway cabinet, a silverware sideboard, or a display case for collectible items in a classic or eclectic living room.
Technical Datasheet
• Material: Lacquered wood, glass, gold details.
• Era: Mid-20th century (circa 1950s/1960s).
• Origin: Italy (Venetian artisanal production).
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The lacquer is intact with a beautiful patina; the glass panes show no hairlines. (Please view the photos as an integral part of the description).
