Lot 317 | A superb Italian ebony and ivory cabinet from the late 19th century.
Estimate value
€ 1 500 – 2 500
An expressive and atmospheric work by an Italian ebony master of the second half of the 19th century, made in the style of the works of Ferdinando Pogliani (Milano, 1832 - Milano, 1899). A strict and expressive Italian cabinet-bureau of ebony with ivory inlay. Consonant with the architectural canons of classicism with an atik top, pilaster sidewalls and support columns. The characters and atmosphere of commedia dell`arte are organically woven into the decor program. The cabinet-bureau is decorated with motifs of Renaissance grotesques: climbing buds, sprouting vases, cute ladies` mascarons. The central panels of the paneled doors are decorated with gallant figures of a cavalier in a wide-brimmed hat with a heavy sword and a young maiden carrying a jug. The outer cover of the bureau is decorated with a carved ivory panel with a comedic sword dance scene. Against the backdrop of an Italian town, Pantalone dances next to a girl with a tambourine, and Isabella acts as a spectator. Behind the lid are four small drawers. The bureau lid and drawer are provided with keys. The handle of the drawer is a goat-horned devil`s head, made of fine bronze. Height: 165 cm, width 76 cm, depth 44 cm. Italy. Late 19th century. Professional restoration was carried out. Ivory Certificate: AGLT5BXP. CITES permit attached Width: 76cm, Height: 165cm, Depth: 44cm, Weight: 50kg, Condition: Earlier restoration, Material: Ivory, ID: ID-ANTQ-8596
