Sicilian Style Cabinet - C. 1700

This iconic piece of Southern European cabinetmaking perfectly embodies the late Baroque style applied to prestigious furniture. The cabinet is distinguished by its central niche, which houses an antique-style bronze sculpture—in this case, a relief of Hercules and Cacus. The drawers, adorned with gilt-bronze medallions and inlays, feature a sumptuous tortoiseshell veneer, typical of Sicily. These luxury items, reflecting the opulence of the courts of Naples, Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula, are offered as a complete set, with the desk accompanied by its original top. Please note that if the buyer also wishes to purchase the base, it will be shipped separately for safety reasons, which will result in an increase in shipping costs. - 106 x 46.5 x 23.5 cm
