IMPORTANT TOSCAN CABINET FLORENCE, EARLY 16th CENTURY Fine-grained walnut wood Original keys and locks H. 205 cm, W. 169 cm, D. 61 cm Restoration and maintenance This beautiful Tuscan cabinet, typical of the early Italian Renaissance , is striking for its harmonious proportions and its architectural power, embellished by a succession of geometrical panels. It is composed of two superimposed parts, opening to four molded leaves. A brass door knob occupies the center of each one and thus constitutes a catch for the opening. The upper body is underlined by an architrave with a denticulated frieze and a prominent cornice. The lower body is more compact and rests on a finely molded base. This piece of furniture is a very good example of Italian furniture of the early Renaissance.
