Painted Italian Cabinet , XVIII Century
Italian Painted Cabinet
Northern Italy, 18th century
Height: 93cm
Width: 80cm
Depth: 38cm
A striking painted cabinet retaining its original polychrome surface.
The façade is organised with a single long frieze drawer above a pair of cupboard doors, all raised on a shaped plinth base.
The surface decoration is just incredible. The ground is painted with bold diagonal brushwork in red and green over a pale ochre field. The simulated marble decoration that appears throughout the piece creates a wonderful joyful example of provincial Italian decorative art.
The whole retaining a beautifully worn original surface with excellent colour and patination.
Dealer’s Comment: The smile on my face when I first saw this piece said it all - an incredible piece of art and furniture.
