A large Italian cassone, extensively decorated with fluted body, gadrooned belt, paw feet, and armorial crest. The lid is decorated with acanthus leaf, egg and dart molding, and a central shield.

Measures 27 1/2" x 68" x 23".

Condition

There are scattered cracks to the gilt gesso decoration, and old wood worm holes. Mild warping to the lid, but the lid opens, closes, and sits correctly without any issues. A key is present, but the lock mechanism does not work.
