Emilian Sideboard '600

A late 17th century walnut Louis XIV sideboard from Reggio Emilia, measuring 100 x 140 x 68 cm.

Looking at this piece of furniture, I immediately see it as exemplary of the Reggio Emilia lexicon due to the fortunate proportion of the parts and the linear fluency of its construction.

The shaped shelves dividing the two doors and the protrusion of the top recall the 16th-century tradition with a delicate and intense carving; a splendid Emilian sideboard, with sinuous shapes and a really lively move, made of walnut and with two masks on the pilasters and an inlay in the upper part of the drawers.

Unmistakable is the compositional scheme, albeit smaller in size than the canons of the time and therefore more easily placed in today's homes, of this two-door sideboard with carved pilasters and inlays that give balance, rhythm and harmony to the piece of furniture itself.

The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.
