Italy, Tuscan center table or writing table from the XVIII century

About the Item

This precious center table/desk in walnut root with maple wood inlay on a black background was made in Tuscany (Italy), around the mid-18th century. Its rectangular shape has a so-called "tray" top as it is surrounded by a border higher than the top itself. The corners of the top are shaped. In the center of the walnut top we find the inlay of a parrot enclosed within flowering racemes. On the front, a small drawer is inserted into the band under the top. The four legs are sabre-shaped, typical of Louis XV. It is precisely the conformation of the four legs and the indistinguishable design in which the foot of each of them ends that determines, obviously also taking into account further elements, the Tuscan stylistic hallmark of this table. The perfect finish of the table on each side allows you to use it even in the center of a room. This table can also be used as a desk and can be easily inserted into any environment, from the living room to the study, from the entrance to the bedroom. Very elegant, it can be combined with both antique and modern furniture. *Tieni presente che quest'opera non ha ancora ottenuto il certificato di libera esportazione dall'Italia dalla Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali.

  • Pair of neoclassical Italian chests of drawers in inlaid wood, XVIII century
    Located in Vicenza, IT
    This exceptional pair of Italian neoclassical 18th century dressers in wood richly inlaid on the front, sides and 4 truncated pyramid legs are top-quality example of Italian 18th century cabinetmaking. The pair of commodes are originals from the second part of the 18th century (1780). The front of the pair of commodes is divided into three levels of drawers, two thinner ones at the top and bottom and a thicker central one. This arrangement makes the front of the pair of drawers even more elegant. On the front of the central drawer stands a large oval with two mirror-image neoclassical figures represented. Rich and complex foliate motifs start from the oval and extend gracefully across the entire surface. Corresponding to the upper and lower drawers, both frontally and laterally, runs a band with inlays depicting classical style garlands with ribbons, cameos and phytomorphic elements. On the side, inside geometric figures created through the combination of various wood essences there are other garlands and recurring elements in the inlays of the neoclassical period. The pillars are also inlaid with floral and leaf decorations. The four truncated pyramid legs are also inlaid. These eighteenth-century Italian chests of drawers were exhibited at the Triennale Museum in Milan on the occasion of the exhibition "Il Salone, la città", which took place in conjunction with the "Salone del Mobile" in Milan. We have all the documentation attesting to this museum exhibition. The dressers are entirely inlaid with the use of different wood essences. The inlaid surfaces have also been pyrographed and burnished and are in excellent condition. This very refined technique allows you to create greater definition of the decorations, giving three-dimensionality and chiaroscuro to the drawings. With a dark background, the elegant inlays create neoclassical designs inspired by the taste of the time and the famous furniture of the Lombard cabinetmaker Giuseppe Maggiolini di Parabiago, who brought the inlay technique applied to neoclassical furniture to the highest levels. The marble top is contemporary. The handles and mouthpieces of the locks, also original, are in gilded bronze. The neoclassical furniture of the eighteenth century The last quarter of the eighteenth century coincides with the affirmation of the neoclassical taste, in opposition to the previous rococo or baroque style, particularly widespread and appreciated in Lombardy. An echo of this transition is visible in Maggiolini's first works, namely rounded chests...
