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."

A large and exceptional 15th c. Gothic leather and iron bound travelling chest
Located in PARIS, FR
Large leather and iron bound travel chest, very rare in its dimensions
Late 15th century, Northern France
Dimensions: h.103 cm, w. 178 cm, d. 77cm ( (H. 40.55 in, w. 70.08 in. d. 30.31 in)
Our rectangular-shaped chest opens with a rounded lid. It is entirely covered in leather veneered on a wooden core, and decorated with wrought and crafted iron frames and hinges.
It is garnished on all sides with iron hinges cut at the ends of Gothic trefoils.
On the facade two lock plates with cut-out cloverleaf borders fitted with a hasp (one missing) attached to the cover.
The iron bands serving as reinforcements on all sides as well as the central bands are decorated with plant and floral friezes and geometric patterns. These strips are attached to the wood using daisy-headed nails, typical of the French Renaissance.
Given its size and loaded weight, our trunk has four carrying handles: two wrought iron side handles, but also two front handles.
The interior has a stretched fabric dating from at least the 17th century, we find on the interior sides of the cover the original raspberry-colored vellum.
This is a rare model in leather and iron of very large dimensions. Expensive materials, which were only used on small Gothic boxes (20 cm to 50 cm in length) like those in the public collections of many museums.
Large chests exceeding 1 meter in length for the sake of economy and simplicity were generally made of wood sometimes covered with iron cladding.
We found a large chest in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, but still smaller than ours (inv. 47.144, dim. H: 22 1/2" W: 50 1/2" D: 21").
There are also two similar large chests (with flat or slightly domed lids) in the collections of the Barcelona Leather...
