Emilian sideboard, 17th century

Emilian Louis XIV sideboard from Reggio Emilia, measuring 100 x 140 x 68 cm, made of walnut in the late 17th century. Looking at this piece of furniture, I immediately consider it an example of the Reggio Emilia style due to the successful proportion of the parts and the linear fluidity in its construction. The shaped shelves that divide the two doors and the protrusion of the top recall the sixteenth-century tradition with a delicate and intense carving; a splendid Emilian sideboard, with sinuous shapes and a truly lively movement, in walnut, with two masks on the pilasters and an inlay in the upper part of the small drawers. The compositional scheme is unmistakable, although smaller in size compared to the standards of the time and therefore more easily placed in today's homes, of this sideboard with two doors with carved pilasters and inlays capable of giving balance, rhythm and harmony to the piece of furniture itself.
