About the Item

Italian cabinet on table. Walnut and rosewood, hawksbill, bronze in color and gilded, 17th century. Sample desktop pool located on ball and claw with handles on the sides. The front features the advanced central chapel; and four drawers each side; Tops work an ornate corridor with plant elements made of bronze. The buffet or table that holds barguen~era is turned legs insured by lower chambrana (also machined with a given center) together and to the cover by curved metal fasteners capped scroll. Barguen~o paws have claw-shaped carved synthesized bird on ball, something very typical of the seventeenth century. The cover has this elegant geometric decoration, and so do the five drawers discover: the decoration of the side to diamonds made in marquetry by dark wood inlaid fillets of light, an element that is repeated in the interior of the chapel is reduced. As usual in the baroque barguen~o, the center of the sample is where the decoration is conducted, in general, based on areas tortoiseshell framed or highlighted with dark wood moldings and surrounded by sinuous curved lines made in marquetry, always maintaining symmetry. The chapel remains an architectural composition: Lower basement, facade four columns with pronounced rapture and a niche in the center with the figure of (Hercules or Heracles) fighting Caco, the giant who terrorized the Palatine Hill before the founding of Rome. The drawers of lateral shields stand by locks, made of gilded bronze. The general outline of the furniture is very common in all the European Baroque and the compositional clarity not break until the arrival of the Rococo. All decorative elements, based on the classical tradition, are characteristic of this type of furniture: desks with outdoor displays of this scheme are known and performed throughout Europe, with a Flemish influence in its creation, the Italians being the most valued for their decoration. The practice of employing tortoiseshell plates furnishings revived in Europe in the seventeenth century, reaching this reddish material on gold funds and applying usually under very often. The high price and high demand for furniture with sea turtle shell are explained by the shortage of material, it was necessary to import (usually Central) and, for their work, a highly skilled labor was required.
