Italian Palazzo Auction 

Nightstand belonging to my great-grandmother, part of the furnishings of the matrimonial bedroom, dating from the early 1900s. The style is typical of 'arte povera' or commonly defined as Sicilian rustic. The piece has never been restored, yet it is in excellent condition. At the top it features a marble slab of a beautiful color, quarried in the mines of the Province of Palermo. Drawer and door with a base support structure that was used in the old days to rest the night vase. The base in question is a bit chipped due to use. Otherwise the nightstand is in good shape and it is the only surviving piece from a bedroom complete from the early 1900s.

Comodino appartenuto alla mia bisnonna, facente parte dell'arredo della camera da letto matrimoniale, datato primi del novecento. Lo stile è tipico dell'arte povera o comunemente definita rustico siciliano. Il mobile non è stato mai restaurato, nonostante ciò è in ottime condizioni. Presenta nella parte superiore lastra in marmo di un bel colore estratto nelle cave della provincia di Palermo. Cassetto e sportello con alla base una struttura di appoggio che veniva utilizzata ai tempi che furono per appoggiare il vaso da notte. La base in questione risulta un po scalfita dato l'utiilizzo. Per il resto il comodino si presenta bene ed è l'unico pezzo superstite di una camera da letto completa dei primi del 900.
