Expertly hand-carved from rich black walnut, it showcases the refined craftsmanship and sculptural detail characteristic of northern Italy during this period.

The trunk offers a generous main storage compartment, along with a smaller interior section ideal for organizing smaller items. There is a minor split at the base, consistent with age, which does not affect the structure or integrity of the piece.

A truly stunning example of Italian woodworking, this trunk is as functional as it is decorative—perfect in an entryway, at the end of a bed, or as a statement piece in a grand hallway.
