AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sicilian tall chest of drawers from the second half of the 19th century, made of fine cypress wood. The piece features a four-drawer structure, one of which is smaller, and is characterized by a marble top. On the side uprights there are two elegant turned columns, resting on distinctive onion-shaped feet, elements that give the whole piece a marked decorative and traditional character. The chest retains the original locks, with the exception of the keys and the escutcheons, which are aftermarket. Particularly interesting and rare is the choice of cypress wood, a material not commonly used in making dressers of this type; by canon and depending on provenance, woods such as walnut, mahogany or rosewood were employed. This peculiarity gives the object particular historical, typological, and antique interest.
Sicily, second half of the 19th century.
Conditions: the marble top presents a central crack and requires restoration, using a suitable adhesive specific to this material.
We invite potential buyers to carefully examine the photographs and all related details, as well as the condition of the object, before proceeding with the purchase, in order to consciously evaluate its state of conservation, restorations, and missing parts.
