The cassone is in overall good condition considering its nearly 400 years of use. The walnut case retains its original elements; the lock hasp is no longer present. There are several age-related cracks and minor old worming--which are verifications of the age of the cassone and enrich the natural patina. The painted decoration is not original and probably dates to the 19th century, if not before. The Gothic tracery and apneling appear to be original. The dimensions of the cassone allow it to be used as unique sideboard, console or table. The single-board 24" top is an indication of age and quality of construction. The cassone would incorporate perfectly into California Spanish or Mediterranean design. (The last six photos show the cassone after several applications of hard paste wax) See less
