About the Item
18th Century Italian or French Renaissance Revival Strongbox Chest with Inlay and Lion Masks
A richly detailed 18th-century Italian or French Renaissance Revival strongbox or coffer, masterfully crafted in solid oak with contrasting marquetry and decorative inlay. This architectural chest features a hinged rectangular lid with molded edges, opening to a deep interior well fitted with an internal drawer secured by a hidden iron lock mechanism and accompanied by an original key. The exterior presents an elaborate façade with paired arched panels framed by pilasters, floral carvings, and turned ornaments in high relief.
The front frieze is decorated with scrolling foliate inlay in contrasting wood, suggestive of Italian intarsia or French neo-Renaissance design. Below are two lockable frieze drawers with checkerboard inlay and brass ring pulls, flanked by expressive carved lion and grotesque masks in full relief. The sides are paneled and fitted with wrought iron drop handles, and the chest rests on classic turned bun feet.
The iron strap hinges, interior locking bar, and original key showcase the precision of 18th-century joinery and secure storage methods associated with valuables and documents. Though its decorative motifs reflect widespread Renaissance influences, the blend of stylized ornament, refined joinery, and light-dark wood contrast support an Italian or French origin.
A superb example of Renaissance Revival furniture, this chest would complement a collector’s interior or library or be repurposed as a striking end table.
