Italian Empire trumeau in briarwood and brass with secrets
About the Item
This Italian Early Empire Trumeau is a true masterpiece of elegance and mystery, masterfully crafted from burl feather wood, known for its fascinating grain that evokes the nobility and luxury of times past. The surface of this extraordinary piece of furniture shines with an intense luster that only briarwood can offer, reflecting light and catching the eye of anyone who enters the room.
The real magic of this Trumeau is revealed when you explore its many secrets. Lifting up the roll-top door reveals small hidden drawers, perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes and small personal treasures, each enclosed in its own safe and private space. Underneath, two elegant brass knobs recall a larger drawer, ideal for documents and everyday items.
But the Trumeau hides an additional secret: a central roll-top door that, when opened, reveals the full splendor of the cabinet. This striking element transforms the Trumeau into an enchanting treasure chest of secrets and beauty, an invitation to discover and rediscover the wonders hidden within.
The finest detail is the pull-out drop-down desk, equipped with a green leather top that contrasts beautifully with the burl wood, providing a comfortable workspace enhanced by finely crafted brass inserts and ornaments that add an extra touch of elegance.
Additional drawers complete the cabinet design, useful for organizing and storing larger objects, while the round feet create a harmonious interplay with the entire structure, supporting the cabinet with grace and stability.
This Trumeau is not just a piece of furniture, but a gateway to a world of historic elegance, an invitation to experience everyday beauty surrounded by functional and extraordinarily beautiful works of art.

Chinoiserie Cabinet by Giambattista Gianotti, Unique piece
By Serafino Arrighi, Paolo Buffa
Located in Milano, IT
Rare chinoiserie cabinet with polychrome decorations made in Giambattista Gianotti's Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa (Room 116) for the II Biennial - Lombard Section - Room with Furniture and Stained Glass Windows of the Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa. Unique Exemplar.
The extraordinary piece of furniture is dated 1925. The piece of furniture is an extraordinary example of great cabinet making and woodworking. In fact, these special features are denoted by the manic inlays inserted in the cabinet. The inlays are perfect even in its smallest elements. Its depictions are mainly ornaments and floral elements. These inlays are found on the crown of the cabinet, on the sides, and on the legs. The cabinet opens via two lockable doors. Inside we find great magic! We are greeted by numerous walnut wood drawers of various sizes that can be opened with wooden knobs. Each wooden door is finely carved with ornaments and natural elements such as flowers and birds. The two main doors inside are also finely carved. Let's call it a chinoiserie piece of furniture because of this element that contradicts it: the numerous cabinets inserted inside, where opening this piece of furniture looks like opening a secret chest...
