Large Mesh Cabinet, Richly Carved And Gilded, Baroque Style, Italy 20th Century

- Important column cabinet with mesh doors. Italian work from the 20th century, the baroque style is manifested here by the abundance of its sculpted and gilded decoration, as well as by the spectacular character of its architectural facade with columns.

- The structure of this cabinet is as follows:
> a lower box, with flap opening from top to bottom with lock. This is decorated with a double fillet frame; a frieze of golden waves and a frieze of pearls and fusarolles. In the center, surrounding a mirrored scroll with rolled leather, there is a frieze of spiral rosettes and volute scrolls. On either side of this box, at the front and at the base of each column, a vertical rectangular cartouche houses an acanthus leaf arranged in a console. This base rests on a rich carved decoration around the perimeter of the cabinet; a torus of wrapped foliage, sheltering plants (daisies, pears, pomegranates, etc.). It rests at the front on two large round feet with a grotesque figure.

> The body of the cabinet has two mesh leaves (iron grille with fleur-de-lys motif), the frame is decorated with a frieze with spiral rosettes. On either side, inserted in a niche, a column with a fluted shaft topped with a capital with three rows of water leaves (terminated in a crochet for the upper row). All topped with a frieze of mirrors.

> The cornice, attached to the body, crowns it all by following the perimeter. By the abundance of its decoration, it is intended to be the spectacular element of the whole. The torus pattern of foliage, previously described, is repeated with a daisy in the center, in more generous dimensions. No reservations, everything is sculpted. A fluted frieze and a molding complete the decoration.

- The grilled doors allow objects placed inside the cabinet to be seen without being completely revealed, like a cabinet of curiosities.
