Wood Turner Test Cilindrical Box, 17th-18th Centuries
About the Item
Cylindrical box of "turner's test", 17th-18th century.
Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and lid with a carved star. In the bse it presents a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose with which it was created: this type of pieces were mastery tests of the apprentice turner, which they had to take to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Many of these works are not preserved because they are more practical than decorative and are not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.
Size: 10,5 x 10,5 x 19 cm

- Frame, Wood, Late 17th-Early 18th CenturyLocated in Madrid, ESFramework. Carved wood, late 17th-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a "base structure" of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (inside, a golden band with Fine plant details towards the corners; then a thin red one, and a wider green one, these two the latter imitating marble; outside, another fine gilt molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of vegetal elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the long sides and a highly elaborate cresting with vegetal elements, rockeries, scrolls, flowers and imitation of fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, with the terracotta of Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum). On it, a series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added, showing Baroque influence (reminiscent in certain details of works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano...Category
