Description:
Venetian chest of drawers from the late 17th century, crafted in solid walnut. The piece features the typical full and compact structure of late Baroque Venetian production, with balanced volumes and a solid architectural layout.

The front is articulated by three large drawers framed by multi‑profile moldings. The design of the moldings, broken and strongly projecting, gives depth and movement to the façade.

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

Excellent condition with an even, well‑preserved patina.
