Description from the seller
Lotto Presentation:
Elegant two-body double-piece trumeau, made in Italy in the mid-20th century in perfect Louis XV style (Barocchetto). The piece features a solid walnut wood structure, fully veneered and enriched with refined inlays in maple and fruit woods.
Structure Analysis:
Top Section (Display): Characterized by a curved and broken entablature. The two doors feature central panels inlaid with motifs of a “gallant scene” (figures in bucolic landscapes) surrounded by floral frames. Inside there are shaped shelves.
Central Section (Ribalta): The drop-front door, also richly inlaid with a central medallion, opens to reveal a secrétaire with four small drawers and a central compartment. The writing desk surface is wide and functional.
Bottom Section (Base): Follows the curved line of the structure with three large front drawers. The base ends with saber legs typical of the 18th-century style.
Technical Details and Conditions:
Hardware: Original bronze cast and chased handles and escutcheons with rocailles motifs.
Condition: The piece presents itself in excellent vintage condition. The structure is solid. There are light and normal signs of wear on the polish and small superficial scratches consistent with age (visible in the close-up photos), which do not compromise its aesthetic value but testify to the period authenticity.
Keys: One functional key present
