Neo-Gothic decorated wooden apothecary cabinet, 19th century











Important and rare neo-Gothic apothecary's cabinet from central Italy, made entirely of poplar wood and decorated with creamy white lacquer and imitation marble, with a central passageway. The construction of the piece of furniture can be dated to the second half of the 19th century, a period when neo-Gothic stylistic influences were introduced in Italy (later than in other countries). The bookcase has 4 large compartments, each of which has two glass doors in the form of a pointed arch with a poly-lobed frame, which are interwoven with other decorative upper arches; in the centre of the interwoven arches is a repeating pattern of black lacquer quadrilobes. Another compartment is the central one, which also has two smaller glass doors. In addition, the bookcase has 8 doors in the lower part, decorated in imitation wood. The total dimensions of the bookcase are 428 cm x 283 cm high. The dimensions of the central passage are 187 cm x 70 wide (to which, it is possible to attach a door, given the presence of hinges). The depth is 38 for the lower part and 28 for the upper part.
