Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance Period
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This cassone, remarkable for its sobriety, sits on two clawed lion’s feet and a moulded base.
On the façade, there is one large, moulded frame, with two soberly carved medallions inside it. Each medallion has a painted coat of arms at the centre. The two coats of arms are different, suggesting that there was an alliance between two families through marriage.
The thick lid has a fluted frieze at the front.
On the sides, a wrought iron handle reminds us of the use of this piece, which was intended for storing the property of its owner and allowing them to travel between various residences. The square shaped handles highlight the earliness of this object in the century.
The cassone is, along with the bed, a key piece of furniture of the Middle Ages and was still used in the Renaissance Period.

Wedding Chest, Salamanca Area, Spain, 17th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Wedding chest. Wood, textile, metal, polychrome. Salamanca, Spain, 17th century.
Area of rectangular body with flat top made in carved wood that preserves remains of original polychrome, corners and other metal fittings and textile details in certain places. It is decorated to the outside with a molding in its lower area based on curved motifs and a simple carved decoration of vegetable theme arranged according to a rigid symmetry enhancing an inscription in capital letters on the front ("Viva María / Fernandez") allusive to the owner original of the piece. The interior has no decoration or more elements than the parts of the fittings of the corresponding hinges and the wood seen. The model of a flat-topped ark, with a rectangular shape, was very common in Spanish art as early as the Middle Ages, varying in its decorative elements as time and styles progressed. The metallic elements of the furniture (corner corners on red textile, lock shield on the front, hinges on the inside, handles on the sides to move it, etc.) have a decoration of waves and auctions that refers to models of the Baroque, in addition to columns (flanking the keyhole). The carved decoration of the front (flowers, leaves stems and birds simplified posadas, with simple polychrome in three colors -red, green, yellow-) is not too fine
(something usual in popular specimens), and follows a composition and very colorful habitual in the popular coffers of the area of Salamanca, being common the use of walnut for its realization (as in all the Spanish furniture, for the resistance of the wood and its abundance then). The addition of a feminine name in capital letters (detail that would indicate that the present piece of furniture is an ark made to keep a wedding trousseau, hence the abundance of decoration in a popular utilitarian piece and the presence of a lock with a key) is another element to be highlighted in this piece of furniture. Similar model is mentioned in one of the most used reference books of the Spanish furniture, ENRIQUEZ ARRANZ, Maria Dolores. The Spanish furniture in the 15th, 16th and 17th century. 1951. p. 39; cat. no. 74; The m. 74; Beautiful example of chest or ark of bridal, popular Spanish style of century XVII...

18th Century, Nantucket Origin, Coffin Family Stand-Up Blanket Chest
Located in York County, PA
18th CENTURY, NANTUCKET-ORIGIN, STAND-UP BLANKET CHEST, EXUBERANTLY PAINT-DECORATED, OWNED BY THE COFFIN FAMILY AND NICKNAMED "THE TIGER CHEST" BY FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO HANDED IT DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, CIRCA 1780-90
Stand-up blanket chest over two drawers, exuberantly painted, in a Folk Art manner, with fancifully scalloped, boot jack ends and skirt, attractively proportioned. The decoration consists of widely-spaced, curving lines, in a loose interpretation of elaborate wood grain. The result is all-together bold and whimsical, with a degree of visual impact seldom achieved among its counterparts, placing it among the best of its kind.
The story that accompanies the chest solidifies its importance in both American history and decorative arts. It was handed down through generations of the Coffin family on Nantucket, where it was very likely made. Anyone who knows the island well, knows that the Coffin name is practically synonymous with Nantucket itself. The Coffins were a whaling family who both settled the island (purchasing it with a group of investors for 30 pounds and 2 beaver hats...
