Lacquered and Painted Louis XVI Style Corner Shelf (50s)

Elegant Italian Corner Cabinet, Mid-20th Century, Louis XVI Style – Carved, Lacquered, Gilded, and Hand-Painted This sophisticated Italian corner cabinet, dating back to the mid-20th century, is expertly crafted from carved wood, lacquered, gilded, and painted in classic Louis XVI style. The single-piece construction features two functional lacquered shelves: the spacious top surface is finished in faux marble and remains highly practical, despite a minor visible transverse crack (see photos); the smaller lower shelf is ideal for displaying decorative items such as a flower vase or home accents. Supported by three finely carved fluted legs, this vintage corner cabinet stands out for its graceful design and refined aged patina. The piece is structurally sound, retaining its original charm with authentic period wear – a perfect statement for elegant hallways, living rooms, or entryways seeking timeless Italian style.
