Antique Georgian Leather-bound Casket / Chasse

19th century
For Sale by Antiques4EU
Description

A most unusual Early 19th Century Antique Georgian Casket or Chasse, the latter term used to describe a medieval casket with sloping roofs like a house, from which the form of this piece is derived. Retaining its original iron staple fastening, the two brass hinges in good order, the leather covering decorated with brass studs, the top enhanced with four penwork images of soldiers. While its original purpose remains unclear, this interesting and attractive box with its red velvet lining was probably intended to sit upon the desk of a senior military officer. Believed to be either English or French, { We really can't decide, but as always, welcome constructive comment }.

Height :- 19.00 cm. / 7.48 inches ~ Width ~ 22.00 cm. / 8.66 inches ~ Depth ~ 15.00 cm. / 5.91 inches ~ Year ~ circa 1825

Cataloguer’s note

Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period19th century
  • SizeH 19 cm (7 in) x W 22 cm (9 in) x D 15 cm (6 in)

This early 19th-century Georgian casket or chasse takes the architectural form of a medieval house with a sloping roof. The orange-brown leather body is bound and outlined with rows of dark metal studs, featuring an iron staple fastening on the front and two brass hinges at the rear. The lid contains four penwork images of uniformed soldiers enclosed within stud-bordered rectangular panels, while geometric diamond motifs decorated with studs adorn the lower section. Measuring 19 cm high, 22 cm wide and 15 cm deep, this box sits upon a white lace-trimmed textile surface. It makes a practical and decorative storage container for a desk, study table or dresser in a modern home.
