Commode - Walnut - Lombardo

Stunning 17th-century Lombard chest of drawers with several subsequent restorations. Made of antique walnut wood, a precious, hard, and compact wood used for high-quality furniture due to its aesthetic appeal. The chest features a sturdy structure with three large front drawers, each framed with a raised molding and fine maple wood fillets on the slightly curved front. It has original brass knob handles from the period, a squared base with a slightly protruding baluster, consistent with ancient Italian cabinetry, and definitely attributable to a Lombard workshop from the 17th century. The piece is entirely original, with a patina, and still retains almost all of the original hand-forged iron nails from the 1600s, known as 'star nails,' which makes this piece an absolute rarity and enhances its historical value. Given its relatively small dimensions compared to other chests of the period (another rarity), this furniture is ideal for any interior setting.
