Description

Handsome 16th century Italian walnut cassone raised on lion's paw feet which are later replacements.

The three moulded panels are decorated with floral carving typical of the period. It has the unusual feature of a front opening for a small locked storage space. So this piece was probably not a trousseau chest but more of a domestic or even a church piece.

FAQs

A cassone is a traditional rich storage chest or coffer originating from Renaissance Italy, frequently used as a marriage chest to hold a brides trousseau.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like walnut or oak, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved panels, and dovetailed carcases.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut tool marks, historical wood oxidisation, appropriate period joinery, and natural shrinkage patterns consistent with age.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway or living room, allowing its rich texture to contrast against minimalist walls and modern furnishings.

Maintain stable ambient humidity levels, avoid direct sunlight, and periodically nourish the timber with traditional microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone polishes.
