When you say painted chest, you immediately think of Venice or the Venetian area. In fact, the artisans and painters of this region produced perhaps the most pleasing examples of this particular type of furnishing.
This soft wood chest is rich in allegorical paintings, grotesques, and animalistic feet, without being excessively ostentatious, imposing yes, but not intimidating.
These artifacts still achieve good success among the furnishings of the antiquarian world today.
Painted chests, from ancient palaces, also go well with modern furnishings, giving that touch of class, warmth and cheerfulness that only this type of furniture can give.
Some nineteenth-century restorations suitable for use.
In excellent condition.
