This antique chest from Italy retains its original marble top, which rests atop a case beautifully adorned with veneered inlays and banding, which houses two full-sized drawers, and is raised on spade style legs with squared brass feet. The drawers are fitted with wreath-style hardware ring pulls. The veneer and inlay designs embellish the drawer fronts, either cabinet side, and a slender band which runs vertically down each front side post/leg. The original marble top is primarily salmon colored and quite unusual and lovely.

Commensurate with the age of this piece, please note that there have been some prior repairs to the veneer. The backside panel has been replaced (refer to images for further detail). This Italian chest, circa 1790, with original marble top and fabulous inlays, will make a wonderful case-piece perfect for a foyer, office or living room. less
