This walnut piece of furniture represents a splendid testimony of the high Italian craftsmanship of the twentieth century, moving elegantly between the historicist taste of the beginning of the century and the refined linearity of the Maggiolini style. The structure rests on neoclassical style needle legs and stands out for the extraordinary richness of the details, visible both in the bright polishing of the sides and in the complexity of the geometric and vegetal motifs inlaid on the drawers and main doors. The real surprise, however, lies inside: opening the compartments reveals a sumptuous lining in antique gold-coloured damask fabric with contrasting motifs, an almost theatrical attention to detail that transforms a functional piece of furniture into an authentic treasure chest of times gone by, designed to embellish and give warmth to the homes of the bourgeoisie of the time.
