Exceptional Italian Renaissance Revival Polychrome & Parcel-Gilt Cabinet, 19th Century

Exceptional Italian architectural cabinet in a beautifully aged celadon-green and ivory polychrome finish with extensive parcel-gilt decoration. The upper cabinet features an arched glazed door retaining its decorative escutcheon and skeleton key, flanked by carved pilasters, gilt foliate ornament and architectural panels, beneath an elaborate balustraded gallery. The lower cabinet is richly embellished with carved female masks, classical ornament, floral motifs and a dramatic central grotesque mascaron. Hand-carved and painted throughout with a wonderfully aged surface and impressive architectural presence. Italy, late 19th century, circa 1870–1900.
