Hand-Painted Italian 19th C. Petite Serpentine Chest

About the Item

An Italian smaller-sized serpentine chest of drawers, with hand-painted floral embellishments, from the 19th century. This antique commode from Italy has a shapely serpentine facade, houses three drawers, and is presented on carved bracket feet. This charming chest has a hand-painted finish about the top, and three sides in a lovely floral motif delicately framed within acanthus-scrolled cartouches. The drawers are fitted with metal knob pulls and old, sweet botanical paper lines the insides. This antique Italian hand painted serpentine side-chest would work well alongside a sofa or chair, or perhaps in a powder room for hand-towels and toiletries.
