17th-Century Lombard Walnut Wardrobe with Paneled Doors — Brescia, Italy
-
Description
A magnificent 17th-century Lombard wardrobe from the Brescia-Bergamo region, masterfully crafted in solid walnut during the Louis XIV period. This imposing piece exemplifies the robust elegance of Northern Italian design, characterized by deeply molded panels, architectural proportions, and finely carved details. The two paneled doors are framed by side pilasters and surmounted by a pronounced cornice, creating a stately yet balanced presence. The carved bracket feet and molded base add strength and visual grounding, while the rich, dark patina reveals centuries of use and care. Its craftsmanship reflects the refinement of Lombard woodworking in the full 1600s—solid, structured, and timeless. With its monumental scale and original surfaces, this wardrobe offers both historical authenticity and decorative power. An extraordinary survivor of Italian Baroque furniture-making, it embodies grandeur and restraint in perfect harmony, suitable for the most discerning collectors or elegant interiors.
