Louis XV Commode In Italian Walnut

Rare Italian Louis XV chest of drawers in walnut, walnut briar and centrally moved fillets with high leg measuring 90 x 116 x 58 cm.

This beautiful chest of drawers with 3 drawers moved centrally and slightly rounded on the sides rests on legs, curved almost like a “cabriole”, rather slender that are connected with the apron with a wavy contour in a very elegant way on the forehead and sides.

In the three drawers the decoration is solely made up of the noble Ferrara root and the fillets, as well as a move of great refinement and value, with imposing head wood at both ends of the chest of drawers, a guarantee of elegant furniture and of great value of materials and cabinetry.

Splendid example for the refined conception of the Brescia imprint and for the execution; the usual search for an approach to elegant Venetian forms leaves unchanged the Lombard character of opulent creation with warm and colored walnut briar.

The character is also underlined by the marked tones of the handles and the absolutely original chiseled bronze hardware as well as by the chew proportions which are kept harmonious in the various curves of the sides and front.

As previously said, the motif of the column rounding of the two front corners is very fine.
