Small 17th Century Italian Carved Walnut Wood Cassone

About the Item

At 13 ½ inches tall and 24 inches wide, this small Italian wood cassone makes an intriguing and versatile storage piece. Hand-carved in walnut during the 1600s, the charming chest has commensurate wear that presents as a varying patina, enhancing the character. The main body, which is adorned with several layers of thin molding, is significantly narrower than the lid and the apron. However, the rectilinear shape associated with Italian Late Renaissance furniture remains prevalent. This form is softened by a pair of C-scrolls that embellish the high-profile apron that also has several (yet thicker) layers of molding. The lid also has a subtle bevel on the underside, above the repeating niche carvings that is featured on all sides but the back. A pair of internal iron hinges allow the lid to open, revealing an interior compartment capable of storing smaller items. Our Italian walnut cassone can be utilized as a small chest in a dining room, living room, bathroom, or hallway.
