Please take the time to enlarge and examine all the photos before bidding. They are a very important part of the item description.
A magnificent large antique Venetian painted decorative box with two drawers, very unique and very hard to find. It has been in my possession for approximately 15 years. It is exquisitely decorated with exuberant painting, depicting whimsical figures and other decoration, in shades of teal, pale green, red and salmon, and accented with gilt molding. There are two drawers that open on the front. The opposite side has faux handles to match the side with the drawers. The drawers on this box are lined in pale blue moire paper. One of the faux handles are is broken and partially missing. There is some wear on the handles and the gilt molding, and a small amount of wear on the painted surfaces, but this only serves to provide a patina of age (please enlarge and examine the photographs). I purchased the box from a New York antique dealer who described it as an “antique Venetian box, approximately 100 years old”. I paid over $1200 for it approximately 15 years ago.
The box is large enough that it makes an excellent accent for the top of a chest or table. It measures 15.25” wide x 8” high x 10.25” deep.
If you are interested in owning a pair of these beautiful boxes, I have another one listed, which is the same size and style, but the drawers open on the end instead of the front.
