EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cabinet made in Augsburg, dating back to the late 17th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of German artisans, this exquisite piece stands at an impressive height of 81 cms. The cabinet is a true testament to Augsburg's reputation as a hub for producing luxurious furniture. What makes this cabinet truly remarkable is its use of rare and precious materials. Mosaic panels created in the grand-ducal workshop in Florence adorn the cabinet, featuring intricate designs made from hardstones known as pietre dure. These beautiful panels are set against a backdrop of ivory and framed by columns crafted from semi-precious stones. The attention to detail and craftsmanship displayed in this showpiece is awe-inspiring. Every element has been carefully considered, from the choice of olive wood and rosewood for the construction to the inclusion of ebony accents. Even Lydian stone, copper, silver, lapis lazuli, juniper wood, and oak have found their place within this magnificent creation. Previously attributed to Elias Boscher but now anonymous, this Cabinet remains an enigmatic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Its timeless beauty serves as a reminder of the skill and artistry possessed by craftsmen centuries ago.
