carved Baroque chest

This Baroque chest, with its angled panels and scale-pattern carving, is a beautiful example of a provincial Baroque chest. The right-angled projections are achieved using mitered moldings. The carvings and panels create the rich and three-dimensional structure of the front, which is enhanced by the wood’s grain. The patina is deep and rich. Note the ornate lock. This chest demonstrates that Baroque furniture does not necessarily have to be large. A Baroque chest full of character that blends in well while still asserting its presence with confidence.
