Lombard chest of drawers from the late 17th - early 18th century
Measurements: 102 x 147 x 71 cm
Front divided into four paneled drawers, the first of which can be folded forward, concealing a tripartite chest of drawers inside, made up of six paneled drawers, all with original locks.
Walnut top, ending in an elegant "owl's beak" molding and divided longitudinally into two hinged halves, allowing it to be opened and providing access to the aforementioned chest of drawers and to the support surface formed by the first drawer front folded down horizontally.
Sides framed by molded borders.
Front feet are flattened onion-shaped (typical of the late 17th - early 18th century period).
The furniture is in perfect condition and possesses a splendid original patina.
This type of chest of drawers, undoubtedly the most valuable of the period, was often used as a writing desk.
The space created when the chest of drawers was "open" became a perfect surface to lean on for reading or writing.
The size of the interior drawers was often calculated based on the size of the sheets they were intended to hold.
Lombardy, late 17th century - early 18th century.
