serpentine commode in antique walnut

Exceptional serpentine commode in walnut, showcasing masterful craftsmanship and dramatic materials throughout. This large piece is made from richly figured walnut and walnut veneer, featuring a strongly sculpted bombé front and serpentine outline, accentuated by original aged brass hardware with exquisite patina. The furniture is adorned with elaborate hand-carved floral and leafy motifs, a moulded apron, and decorative cabriole legs ending in rounded feet. From above, we can see the rectangular top shaped with gently rounded corners and a protruding moulded edge. An exceptionally beautiful and figured black and grey marble top adds further sophistication and completes this imposing design. The condition is very good for its age, despite some minimal scratches due to age and use. The patina is super splendid. It has been well made with great craftsmanship. This is a very refined piece of excellent construction that gives the furniture a noble and affected appearance. Showing signs of woodworm, according to its age (as seen in the photos). Measurements: Width 150 cm x Depth 67 cm x Height 99 cm. Made in Italy. Period: 1920s/1930s.
