16th Century Italian Renaissance Cabinet in walnut with rich carvings

About the Item

Italy / 16th Century / Cabinet / walnut / Renaissance / Antique Rare 16th Century Italian Renaissance cabinet in walnut with hand carved decorations of 3 heads and floral patterns frames. The top part of this cabinet used to be an Italian Cassone or marriage chest. These chest were richly carved and were the trophy finishing of rich merchants and aristocrats in the Italian culture from the late Middle Ages onward. The Cassone was the most important piece of furniture of that time. It was given to a bride and placed in the bridal suite. It would be given to the bride during the wedding, and it was the bride's parents' contribution to the wedding. From the mid 18th century when people were settling the Cassones were transformed into a more practical cabinet by adding a base under the chest. The front of the chest became the door instead of the top. This cabinet is a beautiful example of this tradition. It still has its handles on each side as a testament to history. We had this spectacular piece professionally restored while maintaining its rich patina and respecting some old restorations. This museum worthy cabinet, hand carved from beautiful walnut wood is a stunning blend of craftsmanship and long history.

16th Century Renaissance Two-Bodied Cabinet

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

Former collection Altounian At the beginning of the reign of Henri II (1547-1559) the furniture’s ornamentation evolves. The few medieval motifs that were still used are eventually relinquished. Furniture becomes more sober showcasing moulded panels and perfect architecture. Cabinet-makers use ornaments such as curved fluted or plain columns, feather quills, roses or winged putti heads. High-relief carving becomes more scarce and compositions lighter. To that end cabinet-makers draw inspiration from Fontainebleau motifs filtering them and adapting them to French taste. During this period cabinet-makers turn into a kind of architects. Indeed the architectural balance of furniture is the centre of their concerns. The study of Antic formulas is then a necessity. From this care given to proportions appear refined cabinets with pure lines. This style is characteristic of the reign of Henri II and disappears soon after under the regency of Catherine de Medici (1560-1574) when an abundance of high and low-relief ornaments comes back on furnitures. This two-bodies cabinet...
