Description from the seller
Imposing Breakfront / Large Sideboard in Neorenaissance Style – Carved Wood and Bullseye Rolled Glass (Eyes of the Bull) (19th Century)
Description:
Elegant and imposing low sideboard/credenza from the Neorenaissance style, crafted in solid wood finely carved. The piece stands out for its refined artistic craftsmanship, enriched by fluted pilasters with sculpted capitals, raised relief mouldings, and a robust molded top.
The front features three doors equipped with evocative bullseye rolled glass (bullseye glasswork) in amber/gold hues, which give a strong scenic and luminous effect to the interiors of the compartments.
Historical detail / Original label:
Inside one of the wooden drawers/boxes there is an original handwritten era label dating to 1880 ('Maso, 10/2 1880'), bearing a dedication note and family provenance belonging to Signora Francesca Gessi nei Grossi, a detail that testifies to its authenticity and historical charm.
Main features:
- Era: Late 19th Century (with an era document/label dated 1880).
- Style: Neorenaissance / Eclectic.
- Materials: Carved wood, bullseye-foiled artistic glass, decorative tassels applied to the keys.
- Construction: 3 doors with decorative glass, spacious interior chambers with wood shelves, sculpted upper friezes.
Conditions:
The piece is in generally good conservational condition considering its age. It shows a natural patina of time, with small signs of wear, slight missing parts, and signs of restoration/woodworm not active on one corner of the upper rear cornice. Solid structure and ready to use.
