This elegant pair of cabinets was made in Venice around the middle of the 18th century, in the Baroque period.
The wooden structure is entirely lacquered in shades of sugar paper blue with reserves and golden frames. The cabinets feature a lacquered wooden top in faux alabaster marble in bloom, of mixed and moved foma and edged by carved and gilded frame. On the front, they are accompanied by a drawer with a grip in gilded wood carved in shell shape. Below a door, which closes a large compartment, opens through a bronze handle with lock. The interior is entirely lacquered in blue. The cabinets have a particularly rounded structure, characteristic of the Venetian baroque furniture, which draws wavy sides, and is enhanced by the presence of projecting frames, on the front and sides, in gilded wood. The four convertible legs, are short and moved, and give further movement to the whole.
Very refined and decorative, they can be used as cabinets, thanks to the capacity of the interior compartments, but also bedside tables in a bedroom. Suitable in contexts of antique furniture, they are equally placeable combined with modern furniture.
