Low walnut wood sideboard in Carlo X / Luigi Filippo antique style, dating circa 1850–1900, with dimensions 109 cm W x 90 cm H x 47 cm D, weight 34.8 kg, brown colour, lockable with original key, in used but solid condition.
Description from the seller
Low Walnut Sideboard – Carlo X / Louis-Philippe Style
Elegant low sideboard (or floor-standing cabinet) from an Italian manufacturing area, dating to the mid-19th century (full Carlo X / Louis-Philippe period). The piece is entirely veneered in premium walnut burr on the upper fascia 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 protruding upper fascia is supported on the sides by two refined consoles (shelves) carved with foliate motifs and scrolls, typical of 19th-century cabinetry. The central body features two hinged doors adorned with a triple blind arch carved with geometric and stylized floral relief decorations. The interior offers a spacious compartment divided by a solid horizontal shelf. All rests on a full plinth base, linear and geometric.
Equipped with an original contemporaneous key and a functioning lock. At the back and inside you can see the classic signs of artisanal workmanship of the era, with a solid wood back panel divided into sections.
Conditions:
The piece presents in generally good conservative condition, solid structurally and with the original patina of the era well preserved. Being an authentic item with about 150-170 years of history, it shows natural signs of time and use attesting to its authenticity:
Internal structure and back: The back features a natural wood crack due to seasonal shrinking, which does not affect the stability or usability of the cabinet.
Exterior surface: Small and normal signs of surface wear, light scratches and chips. Noted a small vintage chip/repair on the rear right corner of the top surface and a slight abrasion near the keyhole.
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 (c. 1850)
- Style: Carlo X / Louis-Philippe
- Primary material: Walnut wood and walnut burr
- Origin: Italy
