Style and Era: Louis XV (Seventeenth Century), typical of Piedmontese cabinetmaking. The style is distinguished by the grace of curved lines, the absence of sharp angles and the elegance of inlaid decorations.
Material: Walnut wood,walnut and cherry root, enriched with fine inlays (marquetry) in contrasting light woods.
Structure: Slender and sinuous body, supported by four very elegant cabriole legs (moved legs), which end with hoof-shaped feet or goat's foot, typical of the style.
Front: Apron-shaped front band, containing a single finely inlaid drawer and equipped with a bronze lock and handles. The undulating shape of the apron reflects the harmony of the curves.
Details of Pregio
Floor: The upper floor is the decorative fulcrum of the furniture, entirely laminated and inlaid with a geometric and vegetal motif. A richly veined walnut-shaped central reserve is surrounded by a threaded frame and light-wood leafy volute patterns, creating a strong visual impact.
Inlays: The inlay motifs, present both on the top and on the drawer, feature delicate floral and phytomorphic designs (volutes and leaves), emblematic of the period and expertly crafted.
Finish: The shellac finish enhances the warm tones of the wood and the liveliness of the color contrasts of the inlays.
Condition: Excellent overall condition, with authentic patina that testifies to the age and use of time.
