Lot 373 , A late 19th century Continental 17th century style walnut and oak side cabinet, W.6ft 8in. D.2ft 3in. H.3ft

A late 19th century Continental 17th century style walnut and oak side cabinet, carved with cartouches and Venus reclining, the fall front dropping down to reveal three drawers and compartments, on large dragon supports and plinth feet, W.6ft 8in. D.2ft 3in. H.3ft
Estimate £400-600

This is a marriage between an antique Italian cassone and some late Victorian/Edwardian oak.
The top is later oak down to the lunette feize.
The walnut cassone body has been cut to allow the central fall-front (which has been lined with oak) and three central internal drawers have been fitted.
The base is later oak - dragons down to the base plinth. Overall condition is good but for the lock which has had the key broken off inside. One can open it by lifting the top but this will require proper rectification. Minor dents and knocks throughout, colour good.
