Description
The upper body is closed by a central door, framed by a sober but well-defined molding. On the sides of the door, two anthropomorphic caryatids carved in the round develop, with strong plasticity and vigorous anatomical rendering. The caryatids act as supporting and decorative elements, visually connecting the door to the powerful projecting cornice, richly molded, which crowns the entire structure. The lower body features two doors with flat, framed panels, which give solidity and severity to the ensemble. On the sides of the doors appear sculptural elements similar to those above: carved anthropomorphic figures, while in the upper part of the side pilasters, cherub heads are inserted, recurring symbols in Baroque decoration, which introduce a note of grace and movement to the architectural severity of the furniture. The whole rests on a robust molded base, which emphasizes the verticality and monumentality of the artifact.
