Ferrara, Mid XVIII Century

Baroque sideboard made in Ferrara supported by cabriole feet, has a wavy front in which there are pairs of doors and drawers in the band: a large central one and two smaller lateral ones; the sides are also wavy and are equipped with a door each. On the top rests a riser with a shelf that can be opened giving access to the internal compartment, to which galvanized tanks have been added to allow it to be used as a planter; in walnut, the interiors are in fir. The piece of furniture has small restorations and replacements in the construction part of the drawers, in the rear strip and in the hinges of the shelf to allow the aforementioned transformation, in the hardware and in a handle of one of the two side doors.
