拍品专文

This elegant bureau-cabinet is a rare example of Sicilian production of the mid-18th century. The lower section with its distinctive shaped sides is reminiscent of Sicilian commodes of the same period. Most of the Sicilian bureaux cabinets known are parcel-gilt and polychrome-painted with rich floral decoration within cartouches contrasting against coloured surfaces, comparable examples sold at Christie's London, 11 September 2008, lot 218, and a further example, from the Roman collection of Barone Fassini, sold at Christie's, London, 8 November 2007, lot 55.
