Beautiful 18th Century Neapolitan Cabinet in Carey

Descriptio Carved, ebonized wood with marquetry and gilt-metal applications. Measurements: 67 cm x 120 cm x 42 cm; table 75 cm x 126 cm x 50 cm, total 142 cm x 126 cm x 50 cm. The piece combines a chest of drawers with a matching table, structured in two sections: the upper part features multiple drawers arranged symmetrically around a central temple with paired columns, a pediment, and a niche with a gilded figure. The inlaid details, tortoiseshell inlays, and the rich goldwork of the handles highlight the sumptuousness of the ensemble. The table, with Solomonic legs joined by wrought-iron crossbars, reinforces the visual balance and courtly elegance. The workmanship demonstrates the meticulous work typical of 18th-century Castilian workshops, where the chest reached its peak as a piece of representative furniture. Its balance between architecture and ornamentation makes it a paradigmatic example of Spanish Baroque taste. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
