About the Item

The painted scenes that decorate the side doors are children and a harp in one and a woman with a Cupid in the other. Technically, they remember the plaques made with the so-called "Vernis Martin" that used to be applied to furniture at the time. They show inconsequential themes, appropriate for interior decoration and that perfectly fulfilled their role of providing delicacy and color to the furniture, in addition to being able to be framed within Galante Painting, characteristic of the Rococo. All the decorative elements of the furniture have been made in Rococo style, also known as Louis XV (17101774) for being during his government when these forms are adopted in France. In the nineteenth century, as happened with others, many pieces were made taking inspiration as created in the eighteenth century and contributing a series of peculiarities of the time such as, in this case, the abundance of decorative moldings with rocks and the striking Movement of the lines marking the lower and upper areas of the cabinet." Size: 250 x 65 x 292 cms. To be sold empty.

The center of the front has two levels: the lower one has four columns with éntasis, two on each side and joined by an entablature and a top finish in dark wood, and a series of gold metal elements in the center between which it stands out, sheltered under a semicircular arch, the figure of Hercules fighting against Caco; the upper one has some moldings forming some recesses, with an important heraldic shield in the center, all enhanced with volutes towards the sides, and different elements in gilded metal, of classicist inspiration. The general scheme of the furniture responds to a very widespread and valued model in 17th century Europe, of which the best examples have been, as a rule, those of Italian manufacture, and which is continued in the eighteenth century without breaking the compositional clarity of the one that shows in this frontal but yes changing slight decorative details and elements in the area of the central chapel, above all. The practice of using tortoiseshell plates...
