:
Venetian chest of drawers dating from the late 17th century, crafted in solid walnut. The piece features the typical full and compact structure of late Baroque furniture from the Veneto region, with balanced proportions and a solid architectural layout.

The front is divided into three large drawers framed by multi-profile moldings. The movement of the moldings, broken and strongly projecting, adds depth and dynamism to the façade.

The upper band is enriched with an elegant continuous dentil molding running beneath the top, one of the distinctive elements of this piece.

Excellent state of preservation with an even, well‑aged patina. See less
