Credenza - Pinewood - early 1900s

Two-door lacquered white wooden sideboard, Luigi Filippo style, with a drawer in the plinth – Italy – early 1900s

Elegant two-door sideboard from the early 1900s, made of softwood (fir/pine) lacquered white with an antiqued finish, in a Luigi Filippo taste. Sober and well-proportioned lines: shaped top with a molded cornice, fascia beneath the top, two panel doors with visible hinges and a lock with a key complete with a sage green silk tassel.

The base rests on a molded plinth with shaped, scroll-carved feet. In the plinth is carved a hidden drawer, convenient and not easily visible.

The interior is natural wood in walnut/honey tone, with an intermediate shaped shelf and a bottom made of softwood boards. The contrast between the white exterior and the warmth of the interior wood makes it highly decorative, suitable for a shabby chic, Provençal, or modern classic setting.

Ideal as a dining room sideboard, entryway furniture, buffet, or storage container in the living room. Shallow depth (42 cm), perfect for small spaces.

Some joints and wood grains are visible on the sides, with a few small marks on the doors. The interior is in good condition, with a darkened/lacquered finish from more recent work. Solid structure, doors and drawer functioning. No major repairs evident. Photos are part of the description.
