18th Century Italian Walnut Writing Desk / Console Table
About the Item
Simple and elegant table hand-crafted in Italy in the early 1700s using walnut and dovetailed construction. This is a beautiful specimen of early tables built to last centuries. Don't even get me started on those dovetails; they are the headliners of the show: large, hand-made and oh so precise! The table features a two-board top with ogee edges and rounded corners, nailed to a beautiful straight apron showing dovetail joints at the corners. The apron is decorated by a thin angular molding at its base. The table sits on four tapered legs with arrow feet.
The table has a very simple, yet sophisticated look. Although linear in appearance, there are several details that add depth and sets it apart from others. The table is of a medium size, which makes it very versatile because it could work well as a sofa table, a console table or a writing table, if that is what you are looking for. It has a small footprint, but plenty of surface are to use as a writing surface or work on a computer.

- 18th Century Bleached Walnut Italian Credenza, Buffet, SideboardLocated in Carmine, TXWalnut credenza handcrafted in Italy in the mid 1700s and bleached recently. Don't let its delicate overall appearance fool you because, as my lower back can attest, this baby is heavy. This is a beautiful credenza that follow the typical italian style with slanted sides, which create small triangular storage spaces on either sides of the two main front doors and drawer. Overall the credenza is very straight in lines. The drawers have flat overlay fronts, and the doors show chamfered panels with a raised carving and are framed by flat molding. The carving and molding help giving the piece some depth and decoration. The bleaching process also provided the credenza with additional warmth, depth and decoration, by bringing out the beautiful grain and underlying colors of the wood. The top of the credenza is composed of boards with ogee edge nailed to the main case. On the inside the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has lived a long life, and has received some help in "hanging in there" over the years. This is a piece that will fit well with both modern and...Category
