A PAIR OF ANTIQUE ITALIAN DECORATED BEDSIDE CABINETS
Second half 19th century

In late eighteenth century Northern Italian style, each oval with a shallow tray top above an open compartment and pair of cupboard doors, on turned and spiral-fluted supports, the tops decorated to simulate marble, otherwise decorated with flowers and ribbon borders on the cream ground
Each 88cm high, 57cm wide, 37cm deep

Estimate $1,200 - $1,800

Sold for $1,500

Structurally sound and generally in good condition consistent with age and use, with typical minor shrinkage gaps and cracks around joints (not affecting the joints themselves); slight knocks and wear to the gesso surface and decoration, especially around edges and high points; and general surface dirt, including to the interiors.

The locks operate (albeit stiffly with the one key present, which is not original). There is some wear to the keyholes; if these ever had metal inserts, they are lacking.
