About the Item

GOTHIC CHEST WITH LINENFOLD PANELS   ORIGIN : ILE DE FRANCE PERIOD : CIRCA 1500   Height : 78 cm Length : 167 cm Depth : 61 cm           Walnut   Simple in the structure, this chest is made of beautiful walnut with mortice and tenon joints. It rests on a simply cut base.   It presents on the facade a series of five semi-circular arches under which linenfolds of fine quality are sculpted.. The spandrels are decorated with flowers. Each arch is separated by a twisted column whose model varies.   The sides are carved with a round arch. They have wrought iron handles.   Thus, everything in this chest recalls the Gothic architectural vocabulary, making this chest a fine quality work of the wood carvers of the end of the 15th century

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This large chest stands on high legs prolonging the lateral jambs. Presenting a sober and severe appearance the chest still belongs to the Medieval tradition. The piece is made from very high quality Hungarian wood. The jambs are joined to the facade and the lateral sides thanks to pegged mortise and tenon securing a great stability and squareness between each parts. The upper lid is made of two joined parts and so is the facade.

Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance Period
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This cassone, remarkable for its sobriety, sits on two clawed lion’s feet and a moulded base. On the façade, there is one large, moulded frame, with two soberly carved medallions inside it. Each medallion has a painted coat of arms at the centre. The two coats of arms are different, suggesting that there was an alliance between two families through marriage. The thick lid has a fluted frieze at the front. On the sides, a wrought iron handle reminds us of the use of this piece, which was intended for storing the property of its owner and allowing them to travel between various residences. The square shaped handles highlight the earliness of this object in the century. The cassone is, along with the bed, a key piece of furniture of the Middle Ages and was still used in the Renaissance Period.
