18th Century, Italian Baroque Lacquered Wood Chest of Drawers

About the Item

18th century, Italian baroque lacquered wood chest of drawers This rare and particular baroque chest of drawers was made around the beginning of the eighteenth century in Italy. Its wooden structure is entirely lacquered and decorated with mixed technique with representations of oriental taste. The upper part consists of two doors, one upper and one frontal, folding. Once opened, there are four drawers and a semi-circular open compartment completely decorated with the same iconographic program of the exterior. The front flap door, when open, serves as a support surface. Below are three comfortable drawers. The wooden band of support of the piece of furniture runs along the sides and stops frontally, with a contoured profile, in order to lighten the image of the chest of drawers. The wooden frames that delimit the top, the drop-down part and the lower end, as well as the edge of the drawers and the frame on the sides, are gilded with a mecca technique. Some parts are embellished with a black lacquer decoration that draws, to the negative, acanthus leaves. All the decoration of the furniture, on an ochre lacquered background, is made in mixed technique: some oriental figures are painted in polychrome on paper and applied to the furniture, others were performed in lacquer directly on the ochre background to complement the previous and in order to create a complete, uniform and balanced decor with landscapes animated by characters, flowers, plants and vegetation of oriental taste. This type of technique is very particular and sophisticated, quite rare and of great decorative effect. The furniture is therefore refined and of great charm, suitable to be displayed in living rooms, studios, bedrooms and entrances, both combined with antique furniture and in contexts characterized by modern furniture. The images shown here are of the current state of preservation of the dresser. Soon it will be subjected to a conservative restoration and integration of the pictorial gaps.
