Coin cabinet, Piedmont, second quarter of the 19th century

About the Item

Two-body cabinet completely veneered in mahogany feather; it has both in the narrower upper part and in the lower part two doors surmounted by a drawer and framed by a pair of uprights with an octagonal base. The mullions are embellished with carvings of pointed arches in the Gothic style, as in the same style is the carved cymatium with openwork trefoils and two pine-cone carved pinnacles. The bottom drawer contains a leather-covered drawer pull that serves as a desk; opening the two drawers allows the doors to be opened by a release mechanism. The lower ones conceal shelves, while the doors of the riser conceal twenty-two maple pulls with coin housings, some still bearing the piece of velvet on which to rest them; the pulls have mahogany fronts with two knobs each in the shape of a silver lion protome. The construction is fir and pine, the hardware finished in brass.

Paravento alla chinoiserie. Italia, secondo quarto XIX secolo
By Non-Standard Furniture and Lighting
Located in Milano, IT
Paravento a cinque pannelli snodabili; in pioppo interamente laccato in nero, è decorato con motivi dipinti alla chinoiseie: dragoni, scimmie, volatili, e riserve raffiguranti scene di vita cinese, di giocoleria e di combattimento. Presenta cornici fogliacee dorate a decorazione della cimasa e della parte inferiore. Rivisitazione del designer Pietro Russo con stoffa Dedar. Già ampiamente diffuse alla fine del secolo percedente, le chinoiserie ebbero una vera e propria diffusione nell’Ottocento, apprezzate e richieste dalle principali corti europee. I richiami alla Cina e all’Oriente in genere erano in grado di richiamare un esotismo tanto qpperezzato a livello estetico quanto a livello culturale. Il calligrafismo dei disegni a chinoiserie, l’eterongeneo bestiario (sia reale che fantastico) e le scene di vita, offrivano infatti infinite soluzioni decorative per piccoli oggetti e intere pareti, creando interessanti effetti sccenografici nell’allestimento delle grandi sale. Tra i principali propomotori delle chinoiserie vi fu re Giorgio IV che, con la costruzione del Royal Pavilion a Brighton come palazzo di piacere sul mare, decise di allestire alcuni dei locali proprio con questo stile. In particolare la Banqueting Room, la Long Gallery e la Music Room presentano arredi, lampadari, oggettistica quali porcellane, ma anche moquette e vetrate, di gusto orientaleggiante. Le pareti della stanza dedicata alla musica, furono decorate con scene di vita cinese, in oro su fondo rosso, realizzate da Frederick Crace e Henry...
