Sideboard, rounded, cherry wood - Veneto - 18th century.

Elegant "Scantonata" Sideboard from Veneto Period: Late 18th century (Late Settecento) Origin: Veneto, Italy Wood: Solid cherry wood Structural and Stylistic Description A refined "scantonata" (angled-corner) sideboard from the Veneto region, dating back to the late 18th century, entirely crafted from cherry wood, a material prized for its beautiful warm patina, vibrant grain, and extraordinary natural luster. The piece is distinguished by its characteristic broken front with three visual levels, featuring forty-five-degree angled corners that lighten its volume. The Upper Body: Beneath the elegantly shaped top, a dynamic frieze houses three drawers: a large central drawer and two smaller drawers on the angled corners, all adorned with bronze pulls. The Lower Body: The lower section echoes the dynamism of the upper part with four fielded panel doors (two central doors and two on the angled corners). These open to a spacious interior divided by a sturdy original shelf. The Base: The sideboard rests on elegant, shaped bracket feet, typical of late 18th-century Venetian cabinetry, which enhance the structure's slenderness and ensure perfect stability. Technical Details and Condition Hardware: Wrought iron pivot hinges ("cannon" hinges). Condition: Excellent general condition. The piece retains its original patina, with a splendid shellac finish that highlights the warm honey tones of the cherry wood. Its original structural integrity is preserved, including the drawer bottoms and interiors. Dimensions: 184 x 56 cm, height 114 cm
