Italy, Late XVIII Century

Neoclassical chest of drawers, late 18th century. Made of walnut, it features three drawers on the front, one lower under the top and two adjacent ones with a concealed chain that allows for the continuity of the inlaid scene; truncated pyramid feet. The entire surface is veneered in quadripartite bois de rose with inlaid candelabras on the uprights, a band under the top with inlaid reserves with facing putti riding dolphins with tails that develop into leafy scrolls. The central reserve on the front depicts the scene of Hercules killing the lion, with his club resting at his feet. On the sides are two allegorical figures: a vestal virgin with a lamb and an old man with a staff and a sword girded at his side. Walnut interior, marble top replaced. This piece is part of the corpus of furnishings identified as the "dei fondi verdi" workshop. The two figures on the sides correspond to the secretaire published in the book "Maggiolini & co." and similar correspondences on the production's furnishings can be found in the architectural composition of the chest of drawers and in the repeated frames.
