Mid 18th C.
painted throughout in a deep red, the floral painted top flaring at the rear with a serpentine front with molding in giltwood above a conforming case, the side and front panels with centered flower filled urns above elaborate scroll work, the carved apron and feet with gilt accents, the inner case also painted. In good overall condition with scattered losses to painting and gilding, some areas of loss showing the original dark pinewood surface. No evidence of major in-painting. This is a wonderful example of an 18th century painted piece of Northeast Italian furniture. This piece is not "Gustavian".
