Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

- Rectangular in shape, our cabinet opens to the front with two leaves. Their fronts are each adorned with a molded frame in the center (which will be repeated on the interior faces) and two gilded brass finials on the sides. The latter echo the gilding of the lock plates on the leaves; the left-hand plate is brass, while the right-hand plate is a fake (painted gold), which opens both leaves. The top of the cabinet is encircled by a thin molded cornice and the bottom by a thicker, double-row undulating molding. These moldings add texture and emphasize the cabinet's strong lines. It rests on four flattened feet, the latter of which are attached.

- Once open, a set of seven colorful drawers is revealed, concealing precious objects for the collector. Each drawer is framed by a fine molding with a discreet knob on the bottom rod, and each is painted to imitate a distinct hard stone: lapis lazuli, green marble, red porphyry, yellow onyx, black marble, noreena jasper, green tourmaline / or jade. A mix of (feigned) materials that responds to the period's taste for naturalia (products of nature) and polychromy. These cheerful colors provide a pleasant contrast to the dark hue of the boxwood.

- The reduced dimensions of this box add to its preciousness, already established by the meticulous design and painting (Height: 17.4 cm, Width: 21.2 cm, Depth: 12.2 cm).

- In good condition, the following should be noted: the four attached feet, a gilded paint keyhole.
