TITLE: MAGNIFICENT AND MONUMENTAL VENEZIAN TRUMEAU IN BURR WOOD – HEIGHT 260 CM
DESCRIPTION:
A masterpiece of elegance and visual impact for exclusive interiors.
Are you looking for a unique piece of furniture capable of捕uring the eye and radically transforming the atmosphere of a living room, a study, or a significant library? This extraordinary double-body Trumeau (ribalta with alzata) is the perfect answer.
Made in the mid-20th century by Italian master cabinetmakers in full Venetian Baroque/Louis XV style, the piece bears no signatures or inscriptions, presenting itself as a work of high furniture craftsmanship. With its impressive 260 cm height, it stands as a monumental piece with superb scenic impact, ideal for enhancing rooms with high ceilings.
Strengths and Details of Excellence:
Splendid Burl Wood Inlay: The entire external surface is clad in premium burl wood (walnut/olive) arranged in geometric reserves and fishbone patterns. The spectacular natural grain creates a warm, vibrant, luxurious play of tones.
Elegant, Curved Lines: The furniture features a complex beveled and domed shaping visible on both the front and the sides. Nothing is square; every line follows the sinuous flair typical of 18th-century splendor.
Coordinated Luxurious Interior: The upper alzata interior and the bottom of the main drawers are elegantly lined with a refined light glossy damask fabric, perfect for highlighting the contents.
Three Pieces in One (Maximum Functionality):
1 The Lower Body: A spacious chest with three large drawers and magnificent bronze handles and leaf-motif trim.
2 The Central Ribalta: The lower case opens to reveal a splendid internal wardrobe (stipo) with four burl wood document drawers and open compartments, perfect as a secretaire or writing nook.
3 The Upper Alzata: A majestic two-door display case with glass panels.
Authorship Crowning: The piece is topped with a lavish carved crest featuring volutes that centrally encase a small original shaped mirror.
Security: The doors, drawers, and ribalta are equipped for lockable closing with integrated locks.
Monumental Dimensions:
Maximum height: 260 cm
Maximum width: 130 cm
Depth (closed): 62 cm
Condition:
The piece is in excellent overall vintage condition. Structurally sound, solid, and ready to be placed in a home. All movable elements (doors, drawers, calatoia) slide and operate perfectly. Only very light, normal signs of age on the surface testify to its history and authenticity from the mid-1900s (note a small, natural era-induced crack on the paneling of the crest, beneath the upper mirror, which in no way compromises aesthetics or stability).
Clean interior fabric, intact glass and mirrors. The back photos show the wood’s solidity and health.
TRANSPORT NOTE: To facilitate moving, relocation, and delivery, the piece can be divided into two separate sections (the base chest and the display upper unit detach easily).
Shipping/Pickup Info:
Given the monumentality and value of the piece, pickup on-site in the province of Milan is the only option. The seller guarantees maximum availability and cooperation should the buyer prefer to arrange their own special transport company or trusted private courier.
