Circa 1830, Italian, Walnut Wood Wall Cabinet in the Renaissance Style

About the Item

Hand-carved in Italy, circa 1830, this walnut wall cabinet has numerous Renaissance style motifs. The details are quite amazing, with all available space utilized. Even the edges of the two full length shelves have been adorned with recessed niches inside a repeating crenellation. The small turn that operates a latch on the right door also has a motif: in the shape of a hand clutching fabric. The front of the doors are adorned with a raised coat of arms surrounded by a beautiful vertical foliate cartouche rife with curled leaves and palmettes. There are also mythical creatures located within the foliage, including bearded dragons, winged mascarons, and pegasi. The doors are surrounded by a raised molding embellished with a barbed husk motif inside of a roundel border. Beneath the doors is a small (18” W x 5” D) drawer bracketed by a pair of ogee corbels. The drawer has a mascaron pull flanked by winged chimera with foliate rinceaux tails and another barbed husk border. Below the drawer is a panel festooned with a scrolled and foliate shield surrounded by bearded dragons and curled leaves. The foliate and mythical creature theme is continued on the sides of the cabinet, beneath a crown featuring double cyma reversa molding of foliage over egg and dart. A beautifully executed walnut wall cabinet, you will literally notice a new motif new every time you look at the cabinet. It can be hung on any wall where small storage is needed, such as in a bathroom, hallway, or kitchen.

  • Circa 1870 Bleached Walnut Renaissance Style Commode from Florence, Italy
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This majestic, bleached walnut commode was hand-carved by an Italian master in Florence, circa 1870. The details of the floral rinceaux, which are dotted with high relief mascarons are of the highest craftsmanship, beautifully eliciting the Renaissance style. Each of the three full-length drawers has a cabochon coat of arms with large foliate whorls emanating from behind it. The two coils next to the central cartouche have floral centers, while the following volutes are adorned with mascaron pulls, each drawer with a different pair of faces. An overhanging top with quarter round molding sits over a crenellated border, which has a pair of small drawers beneath separated by a large lion mascaron. Both drawers have mascaron pulls set inside an acanthus rinceau. All drawers are flanked by tall vertical pilasters, embellished with a curled acanthus margent punctuated with a mascaron, diminishing roundels, fruits, and linenfold. A shaped shield with a large grotesque is inset on each side and surrounded by thin quarter round molding. The impressive commode is supported by four monopodial lion paw feet beneath a border of infilled gadroon lobes. The walnut wood has been stripped, giving the chest of drawers a warm golden cream color. Our Renaissance style Florentine commode...

  • Bleached Renaissance Style Walnut Sgabello Chair from Italy, Circa 1870
    Located in Dallas, TX
    A sgabello is an Italian chair that originated in the Renaissance. Originally designed to be displayed in a hallway (like a French side chair), sgabello were typically highly carved with some sort of familial crest or coat of arms incorporated into the décor. They were purely decorative, as the backrests were elaborately carved with protuberances and bulging motifs; comfort was not a primary concern. Hand-carved from walnut in Italy, circa 1870, our Renaissance style sgabello has recently been bleached, allowing the carvings to gain further prominence. The shaped seat has quarter round molding adorned with a series of niches that have been filled with trefoil leaves. Additional foliage has been shallowly incised to the top of the seat, with sprawling rinceaux surrounding a potted plant. The uniquely shaped seatback has several canted edges, topped with various Renaissance motifs. A pair of fragmented...
