Provenance: From the collection of Sir Thomas Jackson, 1st Baronet (1841-1915), Gilford Castle, County Armagh, N. Ireland. Sir Thomas was involved in the creation of HSBC and was appointed third Chief Manager of the bank in 1876. He lived in Shanghai and Yokohama in the late 19th century and his statue still stands today in Statue Square, Hong Kong, in front of HSBC's headquarters. This fine cabinet with its decorative hardstone inlays includes an unusual material called pietra paesina or 'ruin marble' which is a sedimentary rock comprising of mainly compacted limestone and clay. It is almost exclusively found in Tuscany where the Medici Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence has used the stone since 1588. In Renaissance Europe it was highly regarded and in much demand from the Royal courts. In 17th century France it was prized by Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. It has an almost painterly quality and the designs created by the natural veins of impurities within the rock give the impression of crumbling cities, landscapes, mountains and seascapes.
