Italian walnut wood cabinet dating to 1900–1910 in Empire style.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This small Italian chest of drawers, made by an apprentice cabinetmaker at the beginning of the twentieth century, represents a perfect example of the “school furniture” with which people practiced before moving on to the production of large-scale furnishings.
It is crafted in the Empire style, with front columns that lend solidity and elegance. The walnut structure is well preserved. It features a top drawer and a drop-leaf door, both of which are functional; the knobs, escutcheon, lock, and key are later replacements. Inside are four small drawers and a red felt lining. Upon examining the piece, the original linings and the butterfly nails typical of the period can be recognized.
A charming piece, ideal today as a jewelry box or refined furnishing accessory.

Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
