Cassettone Umbertino Bureau, c. 1890 Torino

Picture
Solid walnut and walnut veneers, interior in solid walnut.  Named for King Umberto I, the then-reigning King of Italy, and several outlying territories.  Originally used as a chest-of-drawers in a dressing room, this piece also lends itself well to use as a buffet/server.  The workmanship of this piece attests to the superb skill of the woodcarver/cabinetmaker.  Surmounted by a mirror framed in elaborately carved walnut with a flower and curl motif.  The mirror is supported by two small drawers used for holding jewelry.  Three intaglio-carved dovetail drawers top two ornately sculpted doors that open to reveal three more full-width dovetail drawers.   Scroll carving on outside supports, extensive use of stepped moldings and onion feet make this a finely-crafted heirloom. 

Measure:
51.2 x 23.6 x 89.7 (total H) 41.3 (w/o mirror)
