18th Century Transition Buffet, Chest, Walnut, Plumwood, Germany, circa 1770

About the Item

Antique sideboard, buffet, chest of drawers with attachment South Germany walnut, plum etc. Classicism around 1770 Dimensions: H x W x D: 192 x 125 x 71 cm Description: Three-piece piece of furniture from the Transition period, i.e. the transitional period from Baroque to Classicism. The chest-like base has three large drawers and a tableau pull-out above. This additional work surface makes the piece of furniture also usable as a sideboard. On top of this, receding quite a bit, is the two-piece top. Immediately above the dresser is a wide drawer and above it we see a central door, each flanked by a row of four small drawers, one above the other. The piece of furniture, typical for the Baroque period, is elaborated with many movements. The base frame has multiple curves, the pilasters are rounded. The whole front of the furniture is discreetly concave indented, the head of the furniture is semicircular with a hollowed profile. The fittings and the design of marquetry are already quite in the style of classicism. On the door and drawers we see geometric filling fields in diagonally veneered walnut, set off by a maple thread inlay from the outer area, which is veneered in plum. Corresponding inlays can also be seen on the sides of the piece of furniture. Condition: Restored condition ready for daily use, with a shellac hand polish.

18th Century Bleached Walnut Italian Credenza, Buffet, Sideboard
Located in Carmine, TX
Walnut credenza handcrafted in Italy in the mid 1700s and bleached recently. Don't let its delicate overall appearance fool you because, as my lower back can attest, this baby is heavy. This is a beautiful credenza that follow the typical italian style with slanted sides, which create small triangular storage spaces on either sides of the two main front doors and drawer. Overall the credenza is very straight in lines. The drawers have flat overlay fronts, and the doors show chamfered panels with a raised carving and are framed by flat molding. The carving and molding help giving the piece some depth and decoration. The bleaching process also provided the credenza with additional warmth, depth and decoration, by bringing out the beautiful grain and underlying colors of the wood. The top of the credenza is composed of boards with ogee edge nailed to the main case. On the inside the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has lived a long life, and has received some help in "hanging in there" over the years. This is a piece that will fit well with both modern and...
