Venetian Polychrome Decorated Pale Blue Painted Bureau Bookcase, 19th century, in three sections: a two-door bookcase, a slant-front writing case, and a serpentine-fronted cabinet with frieze drawer over a pair of paneled doors and raised on short scrolled legs. The whole is decorated in polychrome with capriccio landscape vignettes within rococo scroll borders in tones of blue against a light blue ground; similarly decorated are the tops of the writing case and the cabinet, the latter on a gessoed canvas ground.
