Romanesque Style Chest, Wood, Bone, Metal, Spain
About the Item
Romanesque style chest. Wood, bone, metal.
Spain Rectangular chest with a lid in the shape of a trough, decorated on the outside with rectangular plates of carved bone and tinted in some details (to enhance the figurative and plant elements it presents) and with simple metal fittings, topped with teardrop shapes. Typologically, this type of chest, intended to store valuables, was common in the arts since the Middle Ages. Given the Muslim presence in Spain, examples were made combining ivory and wood (Nazari box from the Old Monastery of San Salvador de Oña in Burgos, etc.), and examples of eboraria are also preserved in chests in Christian territories (Arca de los Marfiles de San Isidoro de Leon). It is also necessary to remember the chest made by Mohamed ibn Assarch that is preserved in the Collegiate Church of San Isidoro de León, dating from the Almohad period. Iconographically speaking, the piece would be more reminiscent of Sicilian or Hispano-Muslim objects, given the absence of human figures. Throughout the 19th century, and following a trend that occurs throughout Europe, a series of works were carried out in Spain in all artistic fields, inspired by important styles of the ancient history of this country. Thus, numerous objects inspired by Romanesque, Gothic, etc. art were created. ·
