The credenza is pretty large and shows the typical Italian cantered corners style. Throughout the piece is decorated by using different types of molding and hand-carvings. The tops features two boards framed by chamfered molding hand carved with a toothed pattern typical of Italian furniture. The corners of both the top and the case are chamfered, and the doors, corners and sides are all made of chamfered inset panels framed by flat molding. On the front the case is decorated by two vertical carvings of leaves. The credenza features a single inset drawer on top of a two-door cabinet. On the inside all of the space is available for storage and the a shelf divided the space in two.
This is a relatively large piece that, because of the chamfered corners can actually be placed in small areas and close to doors. The beautiful painted patina give it a very unique look and the alternation of light grey and dark grey in the molding and top provide it with balance and elegance. This is a piece that can be placed in a rustic setting as well as a more formal one and will provide plenty of storage, usable space. See less
