Description from the seller

A sturdy, functional cabinet ready to be placed, with the patina and charm of a piece that has stood the test of time. The back shows some reinforcement work and minor signs of age, testament to its long life and still-solid structure. Ideal for lovers of eighteenth-century-style antiques looking for a striking piece that is also suitable for everyday use.

The contrast between the glossy black mouldings, the warmth of the walnut and the light-colored inlays creates a striking decorative effect, perfect for an entrance hall, living room or classically styled bedroom.

The drop handles in iron and pierced brass, together with the Rococo-style keyhole escutcheons, complete the design. The side conceals a compartment with shelves lined in red velvet and braid trim—an elegant and unusual way to store valuables—and the drawer interiors are also lined in velvet.

For collection: the cabinet is on level -1 of a villa. The garages can be accessed via the ramp, and the cabinet can be loaded there.
1–2 people can help lift and move the cabinet, but given its weight, a forklift would be preferable for loading it onto the truck.
