The piece of furniture presented here is quite rare in terms of typology and is strongly characterized by the presence of a deep arched niche with a shelf above. Below it there is a powerful rectangular body centered by a large door wonderfully inlaid with a floral bouquet and ribbons, concealing four compartments divided by three shelves inside. It is worth underlining how the interiors are admirably made of maple wood, a non-negligible detail for the purposes of the prestige of the furniture and most likely of its clients. The wood essences used are various, in addition to the aforementioned maple, we mention ebony, bois de rose and walnut wood, all used for the extraordinary inlay work that embellishes the piece of furniture. To give character and plastic vigor to the layout we find the molded and black painted frames, very beautiful for the chromatic contrast they create with the brownish shades of the veneer and inlay.
In accordance with the law we issue a certificate of authenticity.
