Details

An elegant three-drawer commode, solid, well-proportioned structure, typical late 18th-century Turin production. The canted corners with fluted uprights and the tapered feet lend a restrained vertical emphasis, while the surface shows rich veneering and geometric marquetry executed with fine woods.

The workmanship, measured contrasts of grain, precise joinery, clean lines, suggests a good workshop. A well-preserved example of refined, restrained neoclassical taste, combining function and ornament with balance.
