This photo print, titled "PDC-S-000702-0002" takes us back to the year 1896 and offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of applied arts and crafts. The image showcases an exquisite cover of a coffer, its undetermined size seen from above. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wrought metal object is a true testament to the mastery of Achille Ferrario. As we delve deeper into the composition, we are struck by the sheer beauty and intricacy of this piece. It belongs to the realm of jewelry, cabinet work, and casket-making – all art forms that require immense skill and creativity. The coffer itself takes on an intriguing shape reminiscent of a letter; it exudes elegance in every curve. What truly sets this artwork apart are its divisions and emblazonments. Adorning its surface are various representations: crests, emblems, brands – each telling their own unique story. This shield-like structure resembles a coat of arms or heraldic ornament often associated with noble families. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only Ferrario's craftsmanship but also provides insight into possessions cherished by nobility during that era. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it captures both artistic excellence and social context. It is important to note that this remarkable creation should not be mistaken for any commercial use; rather it serves as a testament to Ferrario's talent in bringing forth objects imbued with cultural heritage. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported back in time - invited to marvel at this extraordinary piece which stands as a symbol of opulence intertwined with artistic brilliance.
