It became in the 17th century a pageantry furniture highly appreciated by the greatest sponsors of this period, such as Marie de Medici or the Cardinal Mazarin, that had a collection of more than 20 pieces. Initially linked to the taste for medals and coins collections of the Renaissance period, the cabinet became itself a object that can be admired thanks to its panels decorated with paintings, precious woods marquetry, ivory, Boulle marquetry, pietra dura, scagliola, etc... The history of these cabinets is complex and the manufacture was developed in many countries, notably Germany, Holland, Italy, England and France. With the creation of Oriental Indies Companies, occidental models were also built from various elements including lacquer panels and then exported in Europe. The origin of this type of cabinet is believed to be Dutch. Some craftsmen from the Holy Roman Empire such as Theodore de Voghel and Iacobus Fiamengo were sent to the royal armory of Naples to make rifle and crossbow stocks for the service of the Spanish Habsburgs. Given the success of this luxurious production, they decided to respond to a growing demand by producing pieces for civilians, in particular precious cabinets for wealthy merchants stopping over in the port. To do this, they hired "intagliatore d'avoli" such as the engraver Giovanni Battista de Curtis, as well as ironworkers and goldsmiths to create the rich mounts for these travel cabinets. Several pieces commissioned by the Court and documented are now preserved in Italian museums. After the revolt of 1647 and the proclamation of the Neapolitan Republic, the production center followed the Spanish court and moved further north to the Duchy of Milan. Until 1713, the kings of Spain remained Dukes of Milan and made the city one of the richest artistic centers in Europe, developing the arms trade, textiles and especially the banking sector. In addition to the minting of gold coins, Lombardy became the European capital of finance. Later, similarly styled cabinets spread through Europe and were enjoyed by royalty, nobility, and wealthy merchants, including the Flemish ceremonial Flemish Antwerp cabinet on stand, German Wunderkammer and Kunstkast Art Cabinet, English scientific collection and specimen cabinet, similar Austrian / South German Augsburg marquetry table cabinet intended for the storage of small rare objects such as exotic shells, geode stones, coral, medals, the very fine gilded bronze ormolu French jewelery casket, petite Indo Portuguese colonial dropfront tabletop chest of drawers, campaign slope, and the very large Morrish inspired Spanish Vargueno traveling writing box desk. Our example is characteristic of the beginning of this rich luxurious Lombard production, its beautiful state of conservation, delicateness, fine intricacies, and the rare presence of open-case visible drawers with the lack of the typical fall-front panel make this quite the scarcity and a desired object on the market. **Additional photos available upon request** - CONDITION REPORT: A superb museum quality example, in overall fine condition, especially considering its age.
