About the Item
A stunning, noble and important early piece - sourced on the art market some time ago with a provenance of the famous Palazzo Sacchetti, Rome. With a rectangular top above a roundel with a coat-of-arms flanked by grotesques and scrolling foliage, the sides with a scrolled boss and gadrooned frieze on giant paw feet. The original hinged top opens to reveal a period boxed lock
The cassone was one of the trophy furnishings of rich merchants and aristocrats in Italian culture, from the late middle ages onward, as such it 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. Since a cassone contained the personal goods of the bride, it was a natural vehicle for painted decoration commemorating the marriage in heraldry and, when figural painted panels began to be included in the decor.
A typical place for such a cassone was in a chamber at the foot of a bed that was enclosed in curtains. In a culture where chairs were reserved for important personages, often pillows scattered upon the floor of a chamber provided informal seating, and a cassone could provide both a backrest and a table surface.
