Italian Venetian-style kidney-shaped writing desk or vanity, featuring a wonderfully distressed original sage green finish with elegant hand-painted floral motifs and classical details.
The desk features an ornate, elevated gallery back centering an oval vignette depicting a classical female figure, flanked by delicate polychrome floral sprays and anchored by turned finials. The kidney-shaped top provides an elegant work surface, flowing into a three-drawer apron.
The piece is raised on slender cabriole legs featuring heavily carved acanthus leaf knees and scrolling feet. Gilt accenting throughout highlights the rococo-inspired carvings. The underside of the center drawer retains an authentic hand-written Italian inscription which appears to read "Azienda Giulio Meda Prov. di Milano Italia," grounding its provenance in the historic furniture-making traditions of Lombardy.
Perfect for use as an elegant writing desk, a statement entryway console, or a bedroom vanity.
