Italla - Credenza - Wood, Marble, Opaline glass

A prestigious sideboard of excellent craftsmanship in the Liberty Art Nouveau style, dating roughly to 1900–1920, made of solid wood. The central body has two doors and a central drawer, an open compartment, and two upper doors in silkscreened glass with stylized floral motifs. On the sides there are two tall columns featuring a lower door, a central drawer, and an upper silkscreened glass door. All shelves are solid wood, the ones in the two side columns are fully clad with a wood-colored film on the upper part. Splendid veneer adorned at the top with wood inlays featuring fruit motifs. In the central body there is a gray marble top with white veining and a mirror with beveling on every side. Bronze handles, locks with keys. Conditions: very good; the sideboard shows some signs of age, the marble top has two scratches but can be re-polished. Under one shelf (as shown in the attached photo) there are several stamps bearing the inscription “W. BENITO MUSSOLINI,” testifying to the historical significance of the piece.
