A scarce antique Italian fall-front jewelry box with lockplate and hasp attributed to Jacopo and Lodovico del Duca. Lockplate and Hasp designed circa 1570, date of manufacture unknown, attributed to the late 16th century Roman foundry of Jacopo (c. 1520-1604) and Ludovico (fl. 1551-1601) del Duca. The rectangular drop-front box casket, circa 1880, signed L'PUPLET, features an earlier finely cast gilt bronze lock plate with a coat-of-arms and hasp, mounted on drop-front chest of drawers form box covered in embossed and gilded paper, having fall-front panel opening to reveal three interior drawers, all lined in red velvet. The wallpaper covering the box's exterior features bamboo, birds, and flowers in the Japanesque taste (orientalist) popular in Europe in the 1870s and 1880. To the interior of the fall front is a circular stamp with the name of the workshop or store (possibly L'PUPLET) somewhat obscured, and the city "Burxelles" indicating that the box was likely made or retailed in that city in the late 19th century. Marks to box: L'PUPLET, BRUXELLES Inscription: 13, 14, 15 (Interior drawers inscribed on the verso of their backboards in script from top to bottom, respectively) Provenance / Acquisition: The origin of the elaborate lockplate with hasp on the front of the piece is more intriguing. At least 76 lockplates of this design have been recorded in major museums, private collections, and in the antiques trade across the Western World. For example, lockplates of this pattern are in the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the State Museum of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin, the Museum Cicico in Bologna, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museo di Palazzo Venezia in Rome, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.[1] Specialists in Renaissance bronzes, especially Charles Avery...
