19th Century Painted Tuscan Credenza / Cabinet

Credenza hand-crafted in Italy in the early 1800s using pine and pegged construction. The credenza shows a two over two composition with two drawers over two doors. The fronts of both drawers and doors are flat, composed by an inset panel framed by molding. Overall the whole piece is very linear and simple, pretty typical of Italian and Tuscan rustic/country furniture. The only curves are present in bun feet (one of which has been repaired – pictures). The top is made with a single board with a straight edge and chamfered corners, matching the corners of the case. The sides, just like the front, are simple and made with inset panels framed by molding. The back shows four chamfered boards inset in panels pegged to the rest of the case.
This is a very cute and well-built piece, that brings together simplicity, style and comfort. The simple lines, the beautiful overall proportions and the absolutely gorgeous light blue color make it a timeless piece that will fit well in many homes, while providing plenty of storage space in a small footprint, and a splash of color …. we all need some color in our life!
