About the Item

chest. Wood, bone inlay, iron. Spain, possibly Catalan or Aragonese school, 16th century (with later restorations). Rectangular casket with a flat lid that closes at the front by means of a key with a bolt with a decorated shield that is decorated on the outside and inside of the lid with a series of geometric compositions made with bone inlaid of the type known as "pinyonet" (also known as "pinyonet"). called "wheat grain" or "rice grain"). In this type of marquetry, small rhomboid pieces of bone are used to form large compositions, usually delimited by boxwood fillets, and widely used in Catalonia and Aragon. The cover presents two compositions (one on each side) both starring a large circular element in which triangles, rhombuses, stars, etc. are used, and these same geometric shapes are grouped creating circles in the corners, other elements in the smaller sides and a band that borders the entire field. Also note the fillet that borders the lid and the fronts, in which a brown tone alternates with the white or light color of the bone, in pieces arranged diagonally. Three of the fronts present an outer band with geometric elements, another band on the inside with stars and a strip of geometric elements. The lid of the piece, on the sides of the chest, presents two equal bands: framed by these crosspieces with diagonal elements, which presents a decoration of simple vegetal and floral elements. The back has three geometric elements enhanced by a fine inlaid band. Also note the presence of decorated moldings on the lower edge of the piece. Compare, for example, with the casket dated from the 16th century found in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid (inv. CE01131), whose exterior presents some details in common with the present piece. This same museum has a panel from the 16th century that has a heraldic shield with the quarters of the Habsburgs, Holy Land, Austria, Castilla, León, Aragón and Granada (inv. CE20890); the composition around this shield is similar in certain details to that of the lid of this chest. The stars on the four sides can also be compared with those on some of the drawers of the wastebasket or arquimesa dated between 1576 and 1625 at the González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Sumptuary Arts (Valencia). · Size: 60x40x24cm.
