A 5-drawer Walnut-burl Cabinet With A Writing Desk. Rome, 17th Century.

This superb and fascinating chest of drawers comes from the palace of a noble Roman family, the Pesciatelli, so we can consider this piece of furniture a Roman creation from the first half of the 17th century.
The piece is in perfect condition, both structurally and in terms of the beautiful patina of the burl wood, with which it is entirely veneered.
The top of the piece, which is entirely original, features a slightly urn-shaped design; in fact, it has a raised upper step that lends it greater prominence.
Another distinctive feature of the piece is found in the second large drawer, which includes a pull-out compartment containing four small drawers and one central drawer; this section was designed for use as a writing desk.

The piece we are presenting is in perfect condition and equipped with hardware and heart-shaped locks on all drawers, including the small ones in the writing desk section.

The approximate dimensions of the chest of drawers are 145 cm wide x 125 cm high x 60 cm deep.

A certificate of authenticity is included with the sale.
