Description from the seller
Antique Brass Chest Worked in Repoussé with Figurative Scenes
Charming brass chest finely worked in repoussé, featuring rich figurative decorations on every side. The lid presents a raised relief scene with figures in period attire set within an architectural context, framed by an ornate border with floral motifs and stylized tendrils.
The front and side panels are also relief-decorated with scenes of daily life and interior settings, executed with careful attention to detail and plastic depth. The repoussé work highlights skilled craftsmanship, giving movement and three-dimensionality to the compositions.
The inner structure is wood, while the exterior is entirely clad in chiselled brass. The surface patina, with natural oxidations and color variations, testifies to the passage of time and enhances the piece’s authentic charm. Includes hinged lid and resting feet.
A piece of great character, ideal as a container, a log holder, or a classical and refined decorative accessory for distinguished interiors.
