Syrian Mother of Pearl Inlaid Wedding Chest

About the Item

Syrian mother of pearl inlaid wooden wedding or dowry chest. The trunk is profusely inlaid with intricate geometric and floral designs in mother of pearl with the intarsia method. The lid lifts to reveal two small compartments within a larger storage chest. Provenance: From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher, Osceola, Wisconsin. Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer in the field of safe and eco-friendly cosmetics. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went. This sale features selections from that lifetime of eclectic and inspired collecting, including furniture by Carlo Bugatti, Gabriel Viardot, and Josef Hoffman; artworks by artists ranging from Old Masters to Salvador Dali to Arman; an impressive collection of Indian sculptures; and much more.
