Two-part Cabinet By Ferd. Pogliani, Milan – From The 1800s

Two-part cabinet crafted by Ferd. Pogliani, a renowned 19th-century Milanese cabinetmaker. Crafted from blackened exotic wood, it is distinguished by its richly ornate decoration, combining inlays of ivory, hard stones, and semiprecious stones.

The piece rests on two curved “S”-shaped legs joined by a rectangular base. The lower section opens with a drawer bearing the stamp “FERD. POGLIANI EBENISTA MILANO”, attesting to its origin.

The upper section opens with two doors framed by columns sculpted in the round and complemented by two small drawers, which are also stamped. The gilded brass fittings, delicately patinated by time, highlight the richness of the decoration.

An openwork brass rail elegantly crowns the piece. The original locks and keys have been preserved, reinforcing the authenticity and exceptional character of this piece.

A true work of furniture art, this cabinet brilliantly illustrates the refinement of 19th-century Milanese decorative arts and the craftsmanship of Ferd. Pogliani, whose creations are particularly sought after by collectors.
