18th Century Walnut Inlaid Italian Commode With Secret

18th century Italian chest of drawers with 4 drawers, decorated with floral scrolls, medallions and grotesques in bone and ivory intarsia, the patterns in the corner spandrels evoke coats of arms.
The sides are inlaid with holy figures surmounted by a dai.

The lower drawer has a sliding tray allowing the furniture to be used as a display stand, stepladder, perhaps pray to God. This chest of drawers is interesting in more than one way in terms of its use, with a width of one meter and shallow they are easy to accommodate, its extended function with the retractable top covering the last drawer also brings originality to this character furniture. The piece of furniture was restored in the middle of the 20th century and the interior of the drawers was entirely sheathed in light fabrics, in good condition.
