Antique Bedside Table Neoclassical Maple Italy XVIII Century
Italy, Late XVIII Century
Neoclassical bedside table, late 18th century, Lombardy. The piece of furniture is veneered in citronnier, maple, boxwood and other light woods for the inlays; both the front where the door is housed and the sides are made with a lowered central panel in citronnier, with an octagonal reserve in the centre enclosed by a moulded and inlaid frame; the reserves on a maple background have an architectural inlay with capricci, temples, statues and figures. The panels are inserted in a double frame with a brass-plated frame and citronnier veneer arranged head-on and in a herringbone pattern. An inlaid frame in the base delimits the four truncated pyramid feet and another supports the top in which a top in green alps marble is set. Missing parts and restorations, walnut interior. The piece of furniture is similar to the production of Giovanni Maffezzoli although it does not reach the quality of the Cremonese master in inlay.
