About the Item

The sinuous form of this Italian bleached walnut credenza exudes elegance, forming an almost full crossbow shape. Hand-carved in the 1800s, the credenza has three compartments, with a linear, double-door center segment (with a full-length shelf) flanked by two S-curved sections, each with a proportionately shaped shelf. Each rectangular door is surrounded by thick molding, with similar borders seen on the four drawers above the doors. Although there are circular pulls on all four facades, the outer two are faux drawers, with only the center two being functional pull-outs. The undulating top has quarter-round molding that enhances the curvaceous facing, with a slight protrusion above the two pilasters that separate the middle doors from the outer ones. Crenelated foot brackets rise from the floor before leveling out to form a low-profile apron that embraces both the curvature of the sides and the clean lines of the middle. The credenza has been bleached more recently, giving the wood a beige hue with some traces of the original finish presenting as areas of gray and light brown. Our bleached Italian credenza would make a wonderful statement piece in an entry hall, living room, or dining room.

18th Century Bleached Walnut Italian Credenza, Buffet, Sideboard
Located in Carmine, TX
Walnut credenza handcrafted in Italy in the mid 1700s and bleached recently. Don't let its delicate overall appearance fool you because, as my lower back can attest, this baby is heavy. This is a beautiful credenza that follow the typical italian style with slanted sides, which create small triangular storage spaces on either sides of the two main front doors and drawer. Overall the credenza is very straight in lines. The drawers have flat overlay fronts, and the doors show chamfered panels with a raised carving and are framed by flat molding. The carving and molding help giving the piece some depth and decoration. The bleaching process also provided the credenza with additional warmth, depth and decoration, by bringing out the beautiful grain and underlying colors of the wood. The top of the credenza is composed of boards with ogee edge nailed to the main case. On the inside the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has lived a long life, and has received some help in "hanging in there" over the years. This is a piece that will fit well with both modern and...
