Mid‑19th‑century walnut sideboard in Carlo X / Luigi Filippo style, with walnut veneer and brown finish, lockable with a functioning original key.
Description from the seller
Low Walnut Sideboard for Day Use – Carlo X / Louis-Philippe Style
Elegant low sideboard for day use (or floor-standing cabinet) from an Italian manufacturing area, datable to the mid-19th century (full Carlo X / Louis-Philippe period). The piece is entirely veneered in premium walnut feather veneer on the upper band and panels, a feature that gives a splendid natural flame figure and warm amber tones to the grain.
The design is characterized by sober yet imposing lines: the projecting upper band is supported at the sides by two refined console brackets carved with foliate motifs and scrolls, typical of 19th-century cabinet making. The central body presents two hinged doors adorned with a triple blind arch carved with geometric and stylized floral relief decorations. The interior offers a roomy compartment divided by a solid horizontal shelf. All resting on a full plinth base, linear and geometric.
Equipped with an original period key and functioning lock. On the back and inside you can notice the classic signs of artisanal work of the era, with a solid wood back divided into panels.
Conditions:
The piece is in good overall conservative condition, structurally solid and with the original patina of the period 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 structure and rear: The back shows a natural wood crack due to seasonal shrinkage, which does not compromise the stability or use of the furniture.
Exterior surface: Small and normal signs of surface wear, light scratches and chips. Noted is a small era-appropriate absence/repair on the rear-right corner of the upper top and a slight abrasions near the lock escutcheon.
Hardware: Original and functioning lock, key included. The original internal hook for securing the left door is present.
Detailed photographs are an integral part of the lot description.
Technical Details:
Era: Mid-19th Century (circa 1850)
Style: Carlo X / Louis-Philippe
Main material: Walnut wood and walnut feather veneer
