Description
Important Sicilian trumeau painting featuring gallant scenes in the panels, Sicily, Italy, 18th century Lacquered and painted fir wood. Dimensions: 247 x 112 x 65 cm. An important Sicilian trumeau made in Palermo between 1740 and 1760, with a fir wood frame, lacquered and finely decorated with floral motifs within recessed areas, found on both the drawers and the sides. The front features three painted scenes depicting landscapes, ruins and figures, set against a background decorated with a rhomboidal grid and small floral motifs – a characteristic that distinguishes this piece from 18th-century Venetian models, from which it clearly draws stylistic influence. The surface largely retains the original paint, though it is now altered by an old yellowish patina that modifies the original ‘carta da zucchero’ blue tone, giving it a greenish appearance. The piece stands out for its extraordinary decorative richness, its chromatic refinement and its theatrical character, transforming it not only into a functional container but also into an object of great visual fantasy, where architecture, landscape and floral ornamentation are integrated with remarkable elegance. A piece of exceptional craftsmanship, representative of 18th-century Sicilian cabinetmaking and the aristocratic taste for decorative and narrative painted furniture. This lot is held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
