The inside is consisting one shelf, particularized by round door knobs. The sideboard is embellished by an ochre colored painted weathered surface and a large painted diamond motif in black, lifted by a wooden plinth base. Minor fading, scratches due to age. Wear consistent with age and use. Circa 20th Century, Tuscany, Italy.

This type of furniture was handmade by cabinet makers starting in the 1500's through the 1700's. The furniture was in fashion but was fairly expensive, due to the choice of wood (Walnut or Cherrywood). Therefore, the artisans were asked to fabricate the furniture in a less expensive way using wood types such as Pioppo or Fir.
