Augsburg Cabinet 17th Century Inlay High Epoch Wunderkammer Iron Engraved

About the Item

Rare and valuable collectible coin cabinet richly inlaid in precious woods, Augsburg manufacture, second half of the 17th century. The coin cabinet opens with a drop front that reveals drawers of various sizes on three registers and a central door. The rich inlay decoration involves various wood species, one of which is stained green, creating a contrast between light and dark colors.The decoration includes architectural elements, geometric patterns, scrolls, foliage, birds, ruins, and plant ornaments. Cabinetmakers drew inspiration from Lorenz Stoer's book "Geometria et perspectiva," published in 1567. Once the flap is closed, the front presents a decoration with birds and foliage in different colors. The acid-etched iron lock, typical of southern Germany, further enriches the ensemble. The coin cabinet is in its original state, exactly as we found it. Inlaid coin casts of colored native woods are typical of the Augsburg, Tyrol, and Innsbruck regions and continue to fascinate art lovers. Originally designed for wealthy collectors to adorn cabinets of curiosities (private museums), they served to preserve and display works of art (medals, coins, statuettes, corals, and shells). Various names refer to their special decoration, whether "wild grass," "ruins," or "views of Jerusalem (certain foliage evoking palm trees)," there are also hunting or allegorical versions.
