Description

A lovely carved Italian cassone on hairy paw feet . It has an interesting carved front with a resting man and a pair of fauns.We believe the bearded gentleman is probably the god Silvanus the god of nature, and the fauns ( half man half goat ) represent forest nature and landscape,there are also grapes . The carving is of good quality . The front and lid are walnut and the back sides and bottom are pine .This would look great at the bottom of a bed or as a stand out piece in most places.

FAQs

A cassone is a traditional rich Italian chest or coffer used historically for storing household goods, often commissioned as a dowry or marriage chest during the Renaissance period.

These chests were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut or chestnut, featuring intricate hand-carved reliefs, panelled construction, and occasionally gilded or painted finishes.

Authentication relies on examining the joinery methods, such as hand-cut dovetails or pegged joints, timber shrinkage patterns, natural oxidisation of the wood, and historical tool marks consistent with the period.

An antique chest serves as a focal point when placed against a neutral wall as a standalone statement piece, used functionally for storage while contrasting with modern minimalist furniture.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber drying, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the wooden surface.
