Italian Baroque Early 17th Century Painted Buffet with Carved Diamond Motifs
An Italian Baroque painted buffet, early seventeenth century. The rectangular top with beveled edges sits above two doors carved with vertical diamond point motifs — a decorative device with deep roots in Italian Renaissance and Baroque architecture and furniture, where the faceted diamond pattern was employed as a bold, sculptural surface treatment. The doors open via turned wooden pulls to a simple interior with a single shelf. The piece is raised on a plinth base with bracket feet at the front. The sides are plain; the back unfinished, as expected of period Italian case furniture. The painted surface has developed a deeply weathered patina over four centuries, the paint layers carrying a worn, encrusted character that is impossible to artificially replicate. A rare and exceptionally early example of Italian provincial case furniture. 53.25"W × 24.8"D × 38.25"H.
