EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Badminton Cabinet" a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship from the 18th century. Standing at an impressive height of 386 centimeters, this ornate piece is made of pietra dura, ebony, and ormolu. It was commissioned by the 3rd Duke of Beaufort and created by the renowned Grand Ducal Workshops and Baccio Cappelli. What makes this cabinet truly remarkable is its record-breaking price tag; it holds the title for being the most expensive single piece of furniture ever sold at auction. The intricate inlay work depicting floral motifs adds to its allure, while bronze figures representing the four seasons by Giacomo Ticciati grace its surface. Every inch exudes opulence and grandeur, making it a true testament to Florentine artistry. The chest's elaborate decoration showcases skilled craftsmanship in every detail. Its decorative elements are meticulously crafted with pietra dura technique, creating a stunning mosaic-like effect. "The Badminton Cabinet" is not just a functional cupboard but also an exquisite work of art that elevates any space lucky enough to house it. This print captures all its splendor, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close without having to travel far or own such an extravagant treasure themselves.
