Chest, Leather, Wrought Iron, Textile, Wood, Spain, circa 1500

About the Item

Rectangular body casket with semicircular lid made of carved wood and covered with a worked leather that has been reinforced with a series of forged iron fittings, material in which the handle is also made on the lid and a bolt on the front with shield lock decorated with simplified plant elements on top. The interior presents the upholstery of cloth that was usual in these pieces and that, as a rule, has not been preserved in good condition, as in the present piece. This type of chests were used both to store and transport precious objects, hence the lock, always looking for quality materials and decoration that manifested the economic power of its owner, in addition to maintaining utility. The form is one of the most common of the chests already in the Spanish Gothic, keeping in this style the way to arrange the fittings and a series of decorative elements. The tried and tested arches and chests had very varied shapes and sizes, being so frequent in Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries that many examples are now preserved. Compare, for example, with those of the Lope de Vega House Museum (Madrid), one dated at the beginning of the 16th century and with touches of the 19th century (CE00170) and another one encased (inventory CE00004), or the 15th century chest of the Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid, for example, as well as several copies of private collections." Size: 17 x 10 x 11 cms.

Located in Shippensburg, PA

FRENCH WROUGHT-IRON DOMED CHEST WINE STORAGE RACK Circa late 19th/early 20th century; for storing 28 bottles Item # 209GJY07K A fantastic and rather unusual wrought-iron wine storage rack styled as a domed chest, it features wide shaped straps welded to curved and squared bar with curled iron elements throughout.
