18th Century Italian Walnut Sideboard / Cabinet

This outstanding cabinet has a plain planked top with a dentilled frieze running around the front and sides of the piece and then a fine moulding. Supporting this moulding is a series of ionic columns, their capitals resting against the base of the work above. These columns flank both sides of each corner and between the two sets of doors, as well as at the back of each side. Between the columns on the sides are deep panelled mouldings. The same mouldings are used on the door fronts with the addition of turned wooden handles to open them. Standing on large block feet. The interior has single shelves in each cupboard. Almost certainly a bespoke commission, and a very unusual piece indeed.
