About the Item

Important antique chest made of solid walnut wood. It features restrained, balanced lines and a solid structure with great stage presence. The front is punctuated by rectangular panels framed and separated by sculpted pilasters in relief, which give rhythm and depth to the composition. The upper band is embellished with fine notched molding, a decorative element typical of traditional period craftsmanship. The large, sturdy top has a warm, lived-in patina that testifies to the time and authenticity of the artifact. The base rests on shaped, well-proportioned feet that provide stability and visual momentum. The surfaces show the natural traces of time, enhancing the historic character of the furniture without compromising its solidity. Inside we find a spacious compartment with a side storage box. Ideal as storage, bench or decorative element, this chest lends itself to classic, rustic or eclectic settings, becoming a focal point full of charm and personality.

Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance Period

Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance Period

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

This 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.
