Imposing wooden cabinet covered with ivory and painted ivory with gilded bronze applications. Augsburg, Germany. Circa 1650.Imposing wooden cabinet covered with ivory and painted ivory with gilded bronze applications. Augsburg, Germany. Circa 1650. Possibly from Melchior Baumgartner’s workshop (1621-1686) 27 x 24 x 18 cm. Magnificent cabinet, probably for keeping jewellery in. The central body has two doors which show us two Biblical scenes from the story of Adam and Eve when opened. The interior has a central body with a shrine surrounded by small drawers. All of this is decorated with magnificent miniature scenes from the Old testament, such as the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel and Isaac’s Sacrifice, all following models of engravings by Albrecht Dürer. The upper part has a top with a folding lid and the lower part has a draw that rests on a base with small claws. There is a similar chest kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, with the inventory number W.60-1923. As we can read in the description on the museum’s index card: “By about 1600, Augsburg, in Germany, was already the centre of the production of cabinets, mostly in ebony and, more rarely, in ivory, mounted with silver or gilt brass, enamel and semi-precious stones. Because these cabinets were made from precious materials and assembled with such skill, they were regarded as fit for princes and noblemen and served as diplomatic gifts.

Lower part of an "enconchado" cupboard. Colonial School. Mexico or Peru. 18th centuryLower part of an "enconchado" cupboard. The interior is made of red cedarwood and the exterior is covered in tortoiseshell, mother of pearl and ebony. Colonial School. Mexico or Peru. 18th century 133 x 117 x 65 cm. Important example of Peruvian “enconchado” furniture. As is habitual, it is completely covered in mother of pearl and tortoiseshell decoration, forming a type of flower and some geometric motifs which have been skillfully made very similar to each other. There are examples that can be used as a reference for the cataloguing of this piece in: The Convent of Buena Muerte in Lima, where a complete cupboard is kept, in the Pedro de Osma Museum in Lima, where there is a magnificent example, and in the Soumaya Museum in Mexico City, where there is a magnificent desk with cabinet. With regard to the origin of this type of furniture, which has the same origin and decoration as this one, it is very interesting to read the article by Professor Gustavo Curiel, published in the Mexican Institute of aesthetic research magazine "Imágenes", (http://www.esteticas.unam.mx/revista_imagenes/imago/ima_curiel05.html) about the analysis of a magnificent dresser which is kept at the Meadows Museum in Dallas : “With regard to the place where this furniture originated (characterised by rich tortoiseshell inlay, mother of pearl and silver thread) it has been repeated, without any kind of foundation, that this type of furniture was made in Mexico City, in the Philippines, on the Indo-Portuguese coast and in continental Asia. Recently, Jorge Ribas has confirmed, after meticulous study and many comparisons, that this type of furniture was made in the Viceroyalty of Peru. This very singular style of production of alt-luxury furniture continued until the 19th century. On the other hand, the evident Asian influence on the decoration of the dresser should be highlighted. There are Korean flowers and other elements derived from the repertoire of Asiatic ornamentation.” The quoted article by Professor Curiel continues: “In the decoration we can make out shapes that are reminiscent of Korean flowers, that Jorge F. Ribas has related to lacquered Korean pieces of the Joseon Dynasty. These same floral motifs are present on inlaid boxes and are, one can affirm, the “signature” of one particular workshop’s creations, which indicates that there was heavy activity in the workshop which managed to make these distinctive decorative forms which have endured over time.” Jorge Rivas, who Professor Curiel alludes to in his text, is currently the curator at the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center at the Denver Art Museum, and head of the Latin American Art department.
