A pupil and collaborator of Cambellotti, Melchiorre Melis moved to the capital in his twenties, where, following his master's lesson, he devoted himself to a total art production, creating paintings, illustrations, furniture, ceramics, jewellery, embroidery, toys and exhibition layouts. Bound to the iconographic and stylistic themes of his homeland, he revisited them with originality, as demonstrated by the decorations and subjects of his ceramics and the revival of typical motifs of Sardinian tradition, updated in an Art Deco key, present in this sideboard that, probably conceived in collaboration with his brother Federico, was executed by the Clemente Brothers of Sassari. Walnut sideboard stained black decorated with geometric friezes. On the upper part of the cabinet is a glazed tile, painted with the profile of a woman wearing a headdress and large earrings.
