19th Century Venetian Secretary Bookcase with Painted Scenes and Floral Sprays
About the Item
A very lovely painted green and yellow Italian fall-front secretary bookcase in the Venetian Baroque style with arched doors painted with 18th century-style scenes with figures in a garden landscape amid Roman ruins. Gold relief-work with acanthus leaves and rocaille create cartouches throughout the piece that are embellished with floral swags, as on the arched bonnet, the fall-front, the bottom drawers and the sides. The desk top opens to a series of small drawers and central cubby, which are painted in red, yellow and green tones with a foliate and floral design. While the secretary appears to be from the 18th century, it is more likely a 19th century or latter copy. A beautiful and decorative statement in almost any room!
