Neoclassical chest of drawers from the late 1700s. Made of walnut, it features three drawers on the front, one lower under the top and two contiguous with a concealed chain that allows for the continuity of the inlaid scene; truncated pyramid feet. The entire surface is veneered in quadripartite rosewood with inlaid candelabras on the uprights, a band under the top with reserves inlaid with facing cherubs riding dolphins with tails that develop into foliate scrolls. In the central reserve of the front is depicted the scene of Hercules killing the lion, with the club resting at his feet, in the sides two allegorical figures, a vestal with a lamb and an old man with a cane and a sword belted at his side. Interiors in walnut, marble top replaced. The furniture falls within the corpus of furnishings identified as the workshop "of the green backgrounds." The two figures on the sides correspond to the secretaire published in the volume "Maggiolini & co." and similar correspondences on furnishings of the production are found for how the chest of drawers is architecturally composed and in the repeated frames.
