About the Item
An elegant and imposing antique carved chest, crafted from solid dark walnut, finely handcrafted.
The front panel is richly carved with plant and floral decorations, scroll motifs, and a cartouche or oval shield in the center, likely intended for a coat of arms.
The corners are decorated with sculpted figures (probably caryatids), lending an allegorical and majestic tone.
The base is decorated with a frieze of pods or acanthus leaves, typical of Renaissance decoration.
The feet are carved in the shape of lion paws, sturdy and befitting the importance of the piece.
This type of chest was used to hold linens, trousseaus, or valuables and was often placed in stately rooms or bridal chambers. It could also serve as a seat.
Very antique and original, from the 16th century. Origin: Turin, Italy.
