When you say painted chest, you immediately think of Venice or the Venetian area. In fact, the artisans and painters of this region perhaps produced the most pleasing examples of this particular type of furniture.
This chest in softwood is rich in allegorical paintings, grotesques, and feral feet, without being excessively lavish. Imposing, yes, but not to the point of inspiring "awe".
These artifacts still enjoy good success among the furnishings of the antiquarian world.
Painted chests, from ancient palaces, also blend well with modern furnishings, giving that touch of class, warmth, and cheerfulness that only this type of furniture can give.
Some nineteenth-century restorations for use.
In excellent state of preservation.
