Baroque Chest of Drawers from Villa Sorkočević

A valuable specimen of a Baroque chest of drawers from Villa Sorkočević on the peninsula of Lapad has been conserved in the Furniture Workshop of the Croatian Conservation Institute. The massive chest of three drawers with discontinuous façade, decorated with inlays of figural and plant ornaments, belongs to a type of chest characteristic of northern Italy in the late 17^th and early 18^th centuries.
