About the Item
A grand Renaissance Revival coffer in the the style of 15th century Florence. The intricately carved and scribed lid with gadrooned edge displays a pomegranate motif originating from the Ottoman Empire and popular in Medieval and Renaissance Italy. The case of the piece is decorated with Composite order pilasters, and in between these columns are five richly colored leather panels commissioned from New Orleans artist Micah McGrath. On the whole, this astounding chest has worn beautifully with its original gilding well preserved in the midsection while the top has mellowed with the exposure of its red clay bole giving it a terra cotta coloring, which complements the amber effects of the leather paneling.

- Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance PeriodLocated in Saint-Ouen, FRThis cassone, remarkable for its sobriety, sits on two clawed lion’s feet and a moulded base. On the façade, there is one large, moulded frame, with two soberly carved medallions inside it. Each medallion has a painted coat of arms at the centre. The two coats of arms are different, suggesting that there was an alliance between two families through marriage. The thick lid has a fluted frieze at the front. On the sides, a wrought iron handle reminds us of the use of this piece, which was intended for storing the property of its owner and allowing them to travel between various residences. The square shaped handles highlight the earliness of this object in the century. The cassone is, along with the bed, a key piece of furniture of the Middle Ages and was still used in the Renaissance Period.Category
