ITALIE DU NORD XVIIe siècle
ITALIE DU NORD XVIIe siècle
ITALIAN DRAWINGS Light walnut and iron
H. 106,5 cm, W. 204 cm, D. 49 cm
Good condition
If Italy did not know the dresser, it created a specific exhibition piece of furniture, the credenza.
Originally a simple table, it was transformed into a low cupboard. It served as a sideboard in small dining rooms, fashionable in well-to-do classrooms from the Quattrocento onwards, or as a dressing table, on which ewer and basin were placed in private rooms. The body of the piece of furniture opens through four simply moulded doors and rests on a base housing three small drawers and a base cut out of volutes. A very sober piece of furniture, it draws its rhythm and decoration from its structure and shape. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
