A whimsical Italian cassettone or dresser, dated to the 1800s, with later decorative hand-painted facade featuring a floral and bird motif. The chest is washed in a warm cream hue and drawers are decorated with scrollwork, curling acanthus leaves, delicate flowers, and sweet pink bows. The sides feature a romantic natural scene- a colorful bird perched on a pine tree. The pared-down silhouette, with clean lines and square tapered legs, is a beautiful canvas for the ornate and colorful decoration. The top is hand painted to mimic a dark marble stone. Not only beautiful, this chest is sizable and offers ample, functional storage. Overall, the dresser is in wonderful condition, with drawers that slide smoothly. This intricately hand-painted chest is at once a functional storage solution and a statement piece.
