An exceptional Italian Louis XVI chest of drawers from Lombardy, late 18th century. Crafted in walnut and richly veneered, it features a rectangular gray marble top above three drawers outlined with fine geometric banding. The central medallion is inlaid with a delicate mountain landscape, depicting a winged cherub and a young girl — a rare motif showcasing the poetic imagination of Northern Italian marquetry masters. Bronze ring pulls punctuate the design with subtle elegance, while the tall, tapered pyramid legs give the piece a balanced neoclassical stance. The contrast between the warm walnut and the soft marble surface underscores its quiet luxury. A superb example of refined Louis XVI taste interpreted through Italian craftsmanship — decorative, functional, and timeless.
