About the Item

A stunning late 18th century Italian Baroque style credenza scantonata, handcrafted of rich walnut by skilled artisans in Siena, a historic city in the Tuscany region renowned for its fine woodwork and artistic legacy, circa 1790s. Siena has long been celebrated for producing elegant, well-proportioned furniture distinguished by refined detailing and masterful joinery, deeply influenced by the city's medieval architecture and Renaissance grandeur. This exceptional credenza is a beautiful example of that tradition. Featuring distinctive canted sides (scantonata), the piece has a refined architectural silhouette. Its shaped, molded top rests above two angled drawer fronts and three center drawers, providing both visual interest and ample storage. The lower cabinet showcases three central raised panel doors flanked by angled side doors, each opening to reveal interior shelving ideal for organizing linens, dinnerware, or other household essentials. The door panels are a standout feature. Each one is embellished with deeply molded geometric frames composed of stepped and mitered moldings, creating a bold, architectural three-dimensional effect that exemplifies Baroque styling. Framed by elegant pilasters and adorned with understated circular brass pulls, the credenza is raised on carved bracket feet and boasts a warm walnut patina that highlights the natural grain and centuries of age and use. A true testament to Sienese craftsmanship and timeless Italian design, this antique credenza scantonata offers both functionality and beauty. Whether placed in a dining room, living space, or entryway, it brings with it centuries of history, artistry, and sophistication — a striking statement piece that harmonizes beautifully with both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Handsome 18th Century Italian Carved-Walnut Credenza Cabinet
Located in Atlanta, GA
An Italian carved walnut wood buffet credenza from the 18th century. This antique sideboard from Italy features rich walnut wood which has been carved with raised decorative cartouche plaques, in varying designs, about the front face. This piece has a rectangular-shaped top which slightly overhangs the case that is fitted with three small drawers set horizontally above a pair of doors at bottom (which open to a shelf on the inside, maximizing the storage potential of this piece). This chest is presented upon a pair of rail legs at either end with accolade carved skirt, turning to bracket-style front feet, and a single shapely carved foot/brace at front center of skirt that adds just enough lift/space between the case and the floor. The dark, rich wood has a wonderful old patina throughout; a showing of its centuries old age. Note that there have been prior repairs at the side and there is a slight bowing at top. Please refer to the additional images for further detail on the piece. This fabulous 18th century Italian walnut cabinet...
