After having waged war in Italy, The King Fran\u00e7ois Ier, really inspired by his discoveries, called Italian artists, craftmen and cabinet-makers, to work in France.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Ecole de Fontainebleau with Rosso Fiorentino usually called Le Rosso (student of Rapha\u00ebl) and Le Primatice working there for the \u00ab\u00a0Galerie Fran\u00e7ois Ier \u00bb, initiate the former bases of the Italian decorative art.<\/p>\n

The splendid sculptural stucco composition of the central frescoes will become a model for next generations of artists.<\/p>\n

Three famous theorists of Art<\/p>\n

Jacques Androuet du Cerceau (1510 \u2013 1585) designer, architect and engraver,<\/p>\n

Philibert de l\u2019Orme ou Delorme (1510 \u2013 1570) designer and architect,<\/p>\n

Jean Bullant (1520 \u2013 1578) architect,<\/p>\n

Published very influential engraved designs for silver, furniture and textiles<\/p>\n

During the reign of the king Henri II (1547 \u2013 1559) and Catherine de M\u00e9dici\u2019s regency, they all contribute to spread the iconography of Renaissance Ornamentation through the country, exalting the French Renaissance furniture to the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We may note the superb combination of a strong architectural outline with finely executed carving so characteristic of the lyonnais school during the Second French renaissance\u00a0 period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerning the carved decoration and structure , one can clearly see the influence of Philippe de l\u2019Orme, with\u00a0 the Ionic capitals and the ovoloes punctuating the pilasters on the fa\u00e7ade and the foliate carvings, all seem to derive from his Livre VII du Trait\u00e9 d\u2019Architecture (1567). Futhermore, he was very respectful about the Antic architecture purity of lines. Indeed, the ornementation was more concentratre on pilasters and consoles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The presence of the nice divinities denotes an inspiration from the Bellifontain Art of this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a two parts buffet,the upper one setting back. The panelled doors depict mythological divinities and two drawers on the waist interposed by double carved consoles . The nice carved panels of the lower part depict trophies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lower part<\/p>\n

On a ternary rhythm with his nice carved pilasters,\u00a0 the lower part in based on a water leaf border above lion\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n

The panelled doors\u00a0 are centred by richly ornate trophies comprising swag of warriors patterns such as : armor, flags, drums, arrows and shields on a geometrical and symetrical composition. All these patterns are inspired by the treaties of Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau named : Les Grands Troph\u00e9es de Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau<\/p>\n

On the waist, the drawers are adorned with quill-feather frieze and centred by a beautiful lion\u2019s head. The leaf ornated double consoles on each side,\u00a0 underline the ternary rhythm of the Cabinet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Upper Part<\/p>\n

The upper body setting back boasts a pair of flowerhead framed panelled doors depicting mythological goddess.<\/p>\n

On the left, Eurydice, wife of Orpheus, is well known for having danced with naiads on her wedding day. Stepping on a viper, she was bitten and died immediately.<\/p>\n

On the right, is depicted Ceres, goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships.<\/p>\n

They are placed in the center of a round top cartouche, above the head of Putti and below nicely carved aigles.<\/p>\n

The sides of the Cabinet are delicately carved of moulded panels including semi-patera on the borders.<\/p>\n

This Cabinet with a nice quality of execution is a perfect exemple of artwork made by French cabinet-makers from the 16th century Second Renaissance.<\/p>\n

Perfectly preserved, this cabinet still has its original green silk covering, held with cross-motifs braid and studs.<\/p>\n
