Painted corner cabinet. Italy. 18th century.

Descriptio Hanging corner cabinet, made of polychrome wood. The piece features two sections: an open upper section with two shelves and floral decoration on a vermillion red background, and a closed lower section with doors decorated with landscapes and naturalistic motifs. The unit is finished with hand-painted wavy cresting. This corner cabinet combines functionality and decoration, typical of New Spain furniture, influenced by the popular Baroque aesthetic and the viceregal taste for pictorial compositions applied to furniture. The polychrome work reveals a meticulous technique and an interest in integrating art into everyday objects. Dimensions: 94 x 45 x 30 cm. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
