Lot Essay

THE ROSETTES OF THIS COMODINO ARE PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECORATIVE FEATURES OF GENOVESE VENEERED FURNITURE BETWEEN CIRCA 1740 AND 1760. THIS LITTLE COMMODE IS SIMILAR TO AN EXAMPLE WHICH IS ILLUSTRATED IN L.C. CAIMI, L'EBANISTERIA GENOVESE DEL SETTECENTO, PARMA, 1995, P. 108, FIG. 49.
