Italian Palazzo Auction 

A piece of superb cabinetry: fire-gilded fittings and a marble top. The inner theater (or scarabattolo), veneered in contrasting light woods, features at its center an architectural niche with a mirrored display, which conceals a secret sliding compartment intended for the storage of precious goods or reserved papers.

Pezzo d'ebanisteria d'eccellenza: accessori dorati a fuocoe e piano in marmo. Il teatro interno (o scarabattolo), impiallacciato in essenze chiare contrastanti, presenta al centro una nicchia architettonica con mostra a specchio, la quale cela un vano a segreto a scorrimento, destinato alla custodia di beni preziosi o carteggi riservati.
