About the Item

The product of an immensely talented northern Italian woodworker, this beautiful oak socle pedestal dates to the 1600s. Intricate carvings in the style of the Renaissance embellish the façade and both sides of the pedestal, highlighted by the visually stunning abacus that is reminiscent of a velvety pillow. Beneath the “plush” entablature is the mascaron of a winged putto set inside numerous foliate margents. The thick leaves are positioned below spiral fluting and above repeating curled niches that grace the roughly rectangular plinth. A rich brown patina to the wood accentuates the wonderful carvings and gives them added depth. Our carved oak pedestal would make a wonderful addition to any room and is capable of supporting a small statue or bust.

17th Century Northern France Wedding Chest in Carved Oak

Located in Dallas, TX

Based on the facing portrait cartouches on the front facade, this chest was most likely presented to a couple for their wedding in 17th-century Northern France. The oak wood has a deep brown patina that accentuates the hand-carved frontage, depicting a man (on the left) facing a woman (on the right), surrounded by scrolls and a sprawling foliate margent. A quarter-round edge embellishes the lid, which can be opened to reveal deep storage, including a 5 ½ inch tall side compartment. Several thin layers of molding can be seen on the low profile apron above small bracket feet. A chest like this would have been offered as a wedding dowry, most likely commissioned by the parents of the bride or possibly even by the husband himself. The chest would have been used to store valuables for the couple’s new life together, with the wrought iron handles on the sides allowing the chest to be easily transported. Our 17th-century wedding chest can be used functionally as a small storage chest for a bedroom or bathroom or displayed as a well-carved room...

In good original antique condition, it's srong, sturdy and structurally sound with rich patina over the whole. Substantial wear consistent with age and indicative of use.
