Italian walnut and glass credenza in Napoleonic III style, dating from 1850 to 1900, with dimensions 148 cm wide, 104 cm high, 40 cm deep, originating from Italy, in good used condition with signs of age and spots.
Description from the seller
An elegant Italian sideboard in the Napoleon III style, crafted from fine walnut with a pediment richly decorated with floral inlays in maple and other precious woods. A finely composed bouquet stands out in the center: open flowers, shaped leaves, and small buds intertwined in a refined design, also repeated on the upper band and along the side columns. The walnut top is luminous and dramatic, while the curved glass sides are original and perfectly preserved.
The base, shaped with a continuous movement, gives the entire piece a sense of momentum and lightness. The interior is upholstered in period fabric, still in good condition. The gilded bronze floral friezes are well preserved and of fine workmanship. Note the replacement of the escutcheons, the missing key, and two small chipped areas of veneer, shown in the photos.
The back, in oak, is intact.
The structure is sound and stable, with normal signs of age that enhance its charm. A perfect piece for adding warmth and prestige to both classic and modern interiors.
