Antique French 19th Century Jewelry Box Flap Door Miniature Wood Cabinet
Located in Firenze, IT
This beautiful French late 19th century chest of drawers in black ebonized wood and cherrywood reproduces with perfect proportions in scale a miniature cabinet with three drawers and an upper flap door that opens to reveal a white marble top and an oval mirror inside, nice hand carved band on top with geometrical pattern and molded base.
The black lacquered wood creates a wonderful contrast with the beautiful honey-colored wood grain. Despite its convenient size, extremely detailed, this chest of drawers is equipped with a white Carrara marble top and a small mirror that make it even more special and useful.
The model of a piece of furniture was originally created by cabinet makers to show their skills to the customer and to present the sample of the furniture which would then have been produced on a larger scale. These commode miniatures, along with other specimens, were displayed in the craftsman's workshop to serve as examples to aid the potential client in making a selection. Some also think that these little chests were used as doll and puppets...

Last Supper Murano Aventurine Blown Ruby Glass Goblet Lultima Cena Leonardo
Located in Mobile, AL
The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci on a Murano ruby red blown glass with aventurine stem goblet. The quality of the Renaissance style painted enamel and depth of surface is extraordinary and well represented in the photos. The Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival glassware of Murano was responsible for the revival of the industry in the 19th century and has provided an economic base to the industry ever after. The trade commonly refers to this style of work as style of Salviati based upon the 19th century firm and documented examples in major museum collections. I attribute this example to Seguso based upon labels found in past auction...
