Antique walnut cabinet, Italian manufacture from the Charles X period.
Particular and refined in the composure of its details, the architectural structure was certainly commissioned by a family from the high aristocracy.
The three central drawers, finished along the perimeter with a carved and gilded cord, have decorated and gilded panels with three different depictions. The first drawer depicts a coat of arms with the Napoleonic Imperial Eagle, the second depicts battle scenes, and the third a Napoleonic coat of arms. At the corners we find two baluster columns with a secret opening mechanism from which two decorated panels can be seen that conceal a further secret opening mechanism for the three drawers.
Certainly the furniture was built to conceal important documents.
The top is raised and is in embedded green Alpi marble.
cm h 99x64x45 deep.
