Vintage three-light wall lamp in carved, hand-painted wood

Elegant handcrafted wooden sideboard, finished with gold-leaf mouldings.

Description
The piece comes in a delicate cream tone that brings out its harmonious shapes and rich decoration. The gold-leaf mouldings are worked and chased with care, giving light and depth to the whole.

The body has doors and three wide drawers. The inside is practical and divided by two shelves, ideal for tableware, glass or linen.

The real protagonist is the painted decoration. The surfaces tell of aristocratic life in the eighteenth century. Ladies and gentlemen are shown in scenes of hunting and country leisure.
The whole is enriched by floral motifs, fruit and butterflies, which complete the composition with elegance and lightness.
