Musealer frühbarocker italienischer Betstuhl- bzw. -kästchen
Rome or Florence, c. 1680/1700, hardwood and softwood body with walnut veneer, angled pilaster strips and an angled front on stylised lion decoration, rich floral marquetry decoration, partly fire-shaded, with depictions of birds on the sides, spirally turned columns, ebonised mouldings and gilt Corinthian-style capitals, four drawers, gilt bronze female heads, handwritten inscription to the underside, c. 95 x 84 x 48 cm, restored condition. (DOC)
Outstanding quality.
Of particular interest is an otherwise rarely encountered handwritten inscription documenting the purchase of the piece of furniture: “comprati in Ghetto” on 3 February 1790 and naming as its previous owner a scholar called “Professore d. Gio. Girolamo…”.
