Damage caused by xylophagous.

Credenza entirely made of wood, following models of traditional Renaissance cabinetmaking, specifically from the Mannerist period, as indicated by the set of geometric ornamentation. Of simple shapes and straight lines, it has several modules; a lower one that is open and defined in the upper area by two drawers, another intermediate one with two doors and the upper area of ornamental character. The piece stands out for its carving. Structured in a symmetrical way with vegetal motifs that are arranged by almost the totality of the surface of the furniture. Two borders stand out in whose interior the portrait of two knights wearing helmets can be appreciated.
