In the late fifteenth century and during the whole sixteenth century, chests are the greatest treasure of all Italian furniture. In this period they are usually made of walnut wood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This cassone remarkably sober in its ornementation stand on a gadrooned base resting on lion feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Its front is divided into an alternating band of three squared and two rectangular panel framed with carved projecting moulds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These moulds, rarely seen in fifteenth century designs, did not become general until after the second decade of the sixteenth century.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rectangular lid is underlined with a channels frieze. The raised top is molded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cassone are usually given to newlywed as a symbol of the union of two families. It contains the wife\u2019s personal items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sarcophagus form of this cassone is very characteristic of the end of the 15th-beginning of the 16th century.<\/p>\n

A similar cassone is displayed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Inv. No. 168.<\/p>\n
