Venetian lacquered and gilded wooden commode with two drawers, in Baroque Venetian/Rococo style, estimated period the 20th century, Italy.
Description from the seller
Elegant two-drawer Venetian chest, made of wood and finely decorated with polychrome lacquer and gilding in floral and baroque motifs. The sinuous shape of the top and front, together with slender cabriole legs, recalls the refined Venetian Rococo style, making this piece a true furnishing item of great charm.
The surfaces are embellished with hand-painted decorations with rich ornamental motifs in tones of gold, ivory and bronze, while the bronze-finished handles complete the ensemble harmoniously. The back is made of solid wood, as is typical of the artisanal production of the period.
The piece presents a splendid original patina, with natural signs of aging, wear to the gilding, small touch-ups, slight cracks and some finish losses, visible in the photographs. These characteristics attest to the authenticity and historical value of the piece without compromising its structural stability.
Ideal as a substantial bedside table, small entryway chest, living room furniture, or decorative element in classical, Venetian, or eclectic settings.
