A unique piece, capable of enriching any space with the splendor and elegance of the Baroque style.

Subject and Style: This piece faithfully reflects the aesthetic canons of Venetian Baroque (or Barocchetto), characterized by flowing lines and exuberant decorations. The architectural structure features three shelves with festooned edges. The side uprights are embellished with four cherub heads carved in high relief and rich leafy scrolls. The upper section is crowned by an elegant central shell moulding, a distinctive element of the Rococo style.

Material and Finish: Made of hand-carved wood. The finish is a fine two-tone lacquer, typical of the Venetian tradition: the base is a deep "Venetian Red" that creates a magnificent contrast with the carvings, profiles, and sculptures, all entirely finished in gold, lending brightness and three-dimensional depth to the piece.
