19th Century Painted Italian Chest

This classically beautiful carved and painted serpentine bombe` chest features a faux marbe top and base as well as floriate decorations throughout. The Italian antique piece dates back to the 19th century and sports two round drawer pulls on each of the three drawers. The curvature of the body paired with the color palette surely attracts the viewer’s attention at first, however it’s the detail in the flowers that holds onto our gaze and emanates the piece’s palpable historic beauty. Pinks, blues, greens, and reds all intertwine atop the painted background. It’s a combination that reflects the Italian style of the 1800s, one that remains timeless to this day.
