Its original top has a coffer-shaped design, which recalls fully 16th-century reminiscences. Thanks to this information, it is possible to date the object to the early 17th century, probably made by the carpenter craftsman as a model for a wedding cassone or as a jewelry box. Its measurements are: 83 x 31 x 37 cm. We attach a certificate of authenticity to the sale. See less
