A wonderful early walnut chest, French 16th century, with a central panel of Gothic tracery. The only other decoration are simple raised molding square diamonds one the front and sides. I love the simplicity of this piece, showing the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance. Carved of walnut with a lovely honey patina, the top showing burns from candles, dents and stains of use acquired over the ages giving this piece so much character.
This cassone just resonates with an aura of all the eras it has lived through. A great compliment to any interior, useful for storage, at the foot of the bed or the perfect size as a unique coffee table.

Great overall condition with age expected wear. Interior fabric has staining and broken leather pulls.

A handsome leather trunk, newly made from new leather with vintage leather trim, as we well as vintage brass detail and locks. New dark blue fabric interior is clean and complements the look of the exterior. Great for storage but also would make a suitable side or occasional table. A pair would be smart as nightstands.
