Period: Second half of the 19th century

SOLD Emilian chest of drawers measuring 90 x 118 x 60 cm, with three drawers featuring a double central curve and a lateral curve made of walnut, walnut burl, and cherry wood fillets. A highly detailed chest of drawers distinguished by the elegance of its shapes, lines, and execution. The intricate central movement, in the Venetian compositional style, combines the Emilian flair in the use of materials and robust structure. The raised legs, as usual, are widened, tall, and with a prominent curve up to the neck; the sides with a beautiful lateral curve and the top edged with an ogee molding, with head woods on the drawer dividers, constitute a mark of great cabinetmaking. The central Emilian cut of this piece of furniture is generally characterized by the squared side with a slight rounding, the broken central lines with double curvature, and its substantiality. The use of strong fillets and the richness of the burl are always present in these high-quality furnishings.
