This charming Venetian painted humidor table exemplifies the whimsical elegance and artisanal character associated with historic Italian decorative arts. Finished in a softly patinated green ground, the table is richly ornamented with foliate scrollwork and lattice cartouche motifs, hand-painted throughout with a lively, naïve fluency characteristic of Venetian workshop production. The rectangular hinged top opens to reveal a humidor compartment, the interior now likely replaced, resting above a shaped apron with continuing painted decoration. The table is raised on slender, straight legs terminating in small feet, all retaining their original painted surface with visible age-related wear that contributes to its authentic, timeworn appeal. Decorative painting on the lid includes a figural pastoral vignette framed by scrolling reserves and latticework panels, a format frequently seen in Venetian furniture produced for domestic interiors rather than formal palazzi—objects intended to delight rather than impress through strict symmetry or academic refinement. Dimensions: 28"h x 13.5"w x 12"d Condition: Good/Fair. Expected age-related wear throughout, including discoloration, edge wear, decorative paint losses and chips, rubbing and areas of inpainting to the lid decoration. The interior of the humidor appears to be a later replacement. Wear noted to the feet. Overall structurally sound and visually engaging, with surface wear consistent with age and use. Remarks: A highly decorative and evocative piece, this Venetian painted table...
