18th Century Italian Walnut Credenza With Inlay

Description

Credenza hand-made in Italy in the mid 1700s using walnut and decorated with walnut and cherry inlay. The credenza shows the typical Italian cantered corners, which make it a perfect piece for a spot where there is not a lot of room or where one needs room to open a door. The credenza has four drawers with wooden knobs, over two doors. The space inside is divided into two sections by a single shelf. The cabinet part of the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space.
The top is made of two thick walnut boards nailed to the case with square nails and framed by breadboards on all sides. The top follow the cantered corner shape of the case.
Overall this is a beautiful and relatively small piece of furniture that is both practical and decorative. The helical inlay is done masterfully and adds a touch of sophistication to an already very elegant piece of furniture. The warmth of the walnut and the old patina make this a truly fantastic piece of furniture that will add a touch of Italian style to any room it is placed.See
