Description
The low sideboard with several doors became more common in the 16th century in northern Italy. Palace furniture used in the bedroom or the dining room, it is sometimes called “credenza”.
This beautifully crafted, powerful and balanced model consists of a main body opening with two leaves. Resting on claw feet, it rises on a wide base.
Every part of the credenza – base, side uprights, leaves – are framed by delicate moldings highlighted with lunula friezes, thus highlighting the very fine-grained walnut surface.
This credenza is characterized by the elegance and sobriety of its decor and illustrates the Italian production of the Renaissance.
