Rare Italian Renaissance Perspectives Sideboard with Fan-shaped Pedestal

About the Item

RARE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE PERSPECTIVES SIDEBOARD WITH FAN-SHAPED PEDESTAL ORIGIN: TUSCANY, FLORENCE PERIOD: 16th CENTURY Height : 143.5 cm Length : 133 cm Depth : 54 cm Light coloured Walnut This beautiful and very rare dresser of the Italian Renaissance opens with two doors decorated with carved low-relief perspectives and two drawers. It rests on a fan-shaped base. It superimposes two independent bodies. Four hanging spinning tops along the uprights complete the upper body echoing the four spinning tops resting on the base. In the 15th century, the major interest for architecture on the one hand and for studies on perspective developed in 1457, carried out by the great Florentine architect Alberti on the other hand, enhance the taste of patrons for these disciplines. The use of the designs and architecturally carved panels were propagated until the first years of the 16th century. The effect of the perspective, the sense of the depth, are already very prominent. Making use of discoveries of the masters of perspective, this italien piece of furniture, of Florentine origin with motives of the urban views, creates an astonishing reflection of the architecture of it’s time. The architectural views are various and recall some times Bramante, Venise, or Florence. Every city became a particular case of imaginary architecture. This unusual construction of furniture, rare and unique, certainly took place in one of the most beautiful palaces in northern Italy. The use of the dresser was reserved for the presentation of silverware.

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...

Renaissance Palace Wardrobe with Perspectival Views

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

A rare carved walnut wardrobe opening with four door-leaves and two drawers in the lower part. The doors bear architectural views in low reliefs, fluted pilasters and Ionic capitals. Upper Body Two door-leaves with carved architectural perspectives open the wardrobe framed by three fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals. Each door-leaf depict two semi-circular arcades whose cornice and base shows a central vanishing point. Likewise the pavement’s lines act for the artisan as a way to create depth. The vaulting instead leads us to think the vanishing point has to be situated where the handle is, between the two complementaries reliefs. The elegant moulded belt hides an internal secret space, accessible through a moveable plank in the upper body. Lower Body Two door-leaves identical to those of the upper body framed by three fluted pilasters with Doric capitals. The base of the wardrobe opens with two large drawers. The sides also bear panels depicting architectural perspectives. The external pilasters share their Ionic capital with the facade’s pilasters. Thus we can observe on the wardrobe’s sides the capital’s lateral parts with the elegant volute specific to the Ionic order. This palace wardrobe is topped by an overlapping cornice standing on three consoles for the facade and two consoles on each sides. Placed right above the pilasters each console are adorned by fully expanded leaves. During the 15th century a major interest for architecture and perspective studies arises and influences patrons tastes. The work of great theorists such as Leon Battista Alberti...
