About the Item
The chest in question is an elegant piece of furniture made entirely of chestnut wood. Its manufacture dates back to the Renaissance, around the second half of the 16th century, by Tuscan artisans. The chest stands out for its fine workmanship and ornamental details. On the sides it features geometric inlays, which add a touch of refinement to the chest and testify to the skill of the master craftsmen of the period. The base of the chest is overhanging, that is, it protrudes compared to the rest of the structure, and is also carved. The beauty and careful workmanship of this chest offers an opportunity to appreciate the art and craftsmanship of the Tuscan Renaissance.
