Description
17th century German architrave.
Rosewood and walnut with lemongrass and fruitwood marquetry.
The chest stands on a modern iron table.
Measurements: 66 x 88 x 46 cm; 135 x 88 x 48 cm (with base).
An important Renaissance-heritage chest made in Germany at the end of the 17th century. It is a type of bargueño that continues the models established in Augsburg, a German city that became one of the main centres of furniture production, particularly famous for its fine and intricate marquetry. Cabinetmakers in this southern German city specialised in cabinets for storing small precious objects. These luxury cabinets were entirely decorated with elaborate marquetry depicting cityscapes, classical Renaissance ruins or intricate vegetal elements, as well as a variety of ornamental motifs taken from contemporary German engravings and prints.
This extraordinary chest has a hinged front which, when opened, reveals an intricate classical vegetal design on the inside, based on the use of dark wood fillets inlaid into lighter wood, composing classicistic motifs including sinuous vegetal scrolls. Marquetry covers both the interior and exterior of the piece, a common feature of the German Renaissance. Particularly worthy of note is the treatment of the exterior panels, which depict Renaissance architecture, demonstrating the painstaking skill of the cabinetmaker, who recreated the vanishing points and perspective that set the tone for Italian architecture in the 15th century. On the outside of the cabinet is the cut-out, openwork coat-of-arms. On the inside, the cabinet reveals a division into three sections, the side sections with up to five drawers each, each decorated with the vegetal design already worked into the rest of the chest. The central section has a door decorated with Renaissance architectural motifs, while the interior is ornamented with skilful fruit motifs. The chest stands on a modern iron table.
