Low sideboard in wood, of Italian origin, dating to the mid-19th century (circa 1850–1900) in the Carlo X / Luigi Filippo antique style.
Description from the seller
Low Sideboard in Walnut – Carlo X / Louis-Philippe Style
Elegant low sideboard (or floor-standing cabinet) from an Italian manufacturing area, datable to the mid-19th century (the full Carlo X / Louis-Philippe period). The piece is entirely veneered in fine walnut burl on the upper band and on the panels, a feature that gives a splendid natural flame figure and warm amber tones to the grain.
The design is marked by sober yet imposing lines: the protruding upper fascia is supported on the sides by two refined consoles (shelves) carved with foliate and scroll motifs, typical of 19th-century cabinetmaking. The central body features two swinging doors adorned with a triple blind arch carved with geometric and stylized floral relief decorations. Inside there is a spacious compartment divided by a solid horizontal shelf. All of it rests on a full plinth base, linear and geometric.
Equipped with an original period key and a functioning lock. On the back and inside you can see the classic signs of artisan workmanship of the era, with a solid wood back panel divided into panels.
Conditions:
The piece is in good overall conservation condition, structurally solid and with the original patina well preserved. Being an authentic object with about 150-170 years of history, it shows natural signs of time and use that attest to its authenticity:
Internal and rear structure: The back panel shows a natural crack in the wood due to seasonal shrinkage, which does not compromise stability or use of the piece.
Exterior surface: Small and normal signs of surface wear, light scratches and chipping. Noted is a small loss/period repair on the rear-right corner of the upper surface and a slight abrasion near the keyhole escutcheon.
Hardware: Original and functioning lock, key included. The original internal hook for locking the left door is present.
Detailed photographs are an integral part of the lot description.
