19th Century, Traditional Mexican Lacquered and Hand Painted Chest

About the Item

This hand painted box is representative of a technique typical of the Olinalá region, in the state of Guerrero in the South of Mexico. Guerrero is the most important lacquer production center in the country known as "Maque". His procedure employs Chia oil -an endemic plant- and different natural pigments. The entire box has a black background, decorated on its sides and on its cover with beautiful floral elements and plants, as well as some dogs. The back part of the box is not decorated, and the interior preserves the material of the box, in this case wood, before the application of lacquer. To complement the colorful decoration, it has some silver applications.

19th Century Watercolor by Claudio Linati

By Claudio Linati

Located in Mexico City, MX

This beautiful piece emerged from the graphic compendium Costumes civils, militaires et religieux, du Mexique civil, work of the renowned Italian artist Claudio Linati (1 February 1790 – 11 December 1832), written in French and printed in Brussels in 1828. This original and signed watercolor is the outcome of Linati’s artistic values and expert lithographic technique. In words of the author “I have chosen the most elegant gears, as well as the most bizarre, like the one on this plate, which may contrast by its severity with the alluring of the more feathery costume of the palencanas. (…) The basket carried by the woman is carefully made of woven cane. For a better characterization of the country, this young native female carries an anona, known among the Spaniards as pineapple due to its similarities with the pinecone”. This plate is the sole image of the style composition prevailing in Costumes civils, militaires et religieux, du Mexique civil consisting in precise details of costume and material culture, as can be recognized in the representation where even though the female figure is placed in the foreground, the focus of the image falls into gear: a blue checkered shawl and skirt.
