The cut-away seat of this chest-bench also known as cassapanca<\/em> rests on a moulded base. The lower part comprises two sections divided by a moulded element. First five oblique panels enriched with a geometrical inlaid decor then five straight panels with a lozenge and star decor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seat is highlighted by a glyph frieze and opens like a chest.<\/span><\/p>\n

The back is flanked by two fluted Corinthian pilasters and is divided in three registers. Concentric frames alternate light wood lines, moulded reliefs and braid frames.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The entablature standing on the pilasters features a checkerboard inlaid architrave enriched by a palm-leaf frieze, a fusarole frieze and an egg-and-dart frieze. A final dentil cornice carved with lunula glyphs tops the cassapanca<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This inlaid decor is called certosina<\/em>. It is made from very small elements and is used to create geometrical motifs, framings, swirls and other polygonal friezes. Etymologically certosina<\/em> designates a work made by Carthusian monks. Disciples of Saint Bruno have spent centuries devoting themselves to manual works, challenging patience to give a unique embellishment to ecclesiastical furniture with wood, bone, ivory, mother-of-pearl and tin inlays. Soon the technic of certosina<\/em> spread beyond Carthusian monasteries and was found in Florentine workshops amongst others.<\/span><\/p>\n
