Cassone, Chest, Coffer, 17th Century, French, Louis XIV, Walnut
About the Item
Lovely cassone with classical form, the beautiful figuring of the oak creates subtle, decorative patterning and the simple mouldings give a light, contemporary feel.
The rich, lustrous patina that it has developed over time is another main feature.
It would sit really well in a contemporary interior.
It has a copious amount of storage and has a lovely dry clean surface inside.
Beautifully made using 1 3/4" thick planks of oak which is very unusual, invariably cassones have much thinner planks and have cracks and fissures.
The plank top with cleated ends and a solid moulded edge. Original hinges revealing an interior with candle box. The lock removed. The interior dry and clean. The front with a waist moulding and original escutcheon. The bottom moulding and bun feet are later replacements. Excellent original color and patina, second half of the 17th century
