About the Item

Length: 116 cm
Width : 67 cm
Birch bark marquetry and mineral inlays
Interior : turn inside out calf
Original silver metal hinge
Sophie Gallardo has studied interior design before learning wood painting restoration. She acquired ancient technics from renowned profesionnals.
Sophie Gallardo and Georges-Guillaume Cassan chose to promote birch bark they saw growing in the forest. They then invented a unic and exceptionnal process to create birch bark marquetry.
Each piece is unique and its making can take up to three months. Gallardo and Cassan operate on fine furniture (from 17th century to 1970s) playing with bark imperfections, reliefs of the material to create graphic shapes and motifs. Mineral inlays (labradorite, rock crystal, amethyst) punctuate the surfaces as gems turning these pieces of furnitures into cabinets of curiosity.

- Rare Gothic German Oak and Iron Chest Known as "Stollentruhe"Located in Saint-Ouen, FRThis large chest stands on high legs prolonging the lateral jambs. Presenting a sober and severe appearance the chest still belongs to the Medieval tradition. The piece is made from very high quality Hungarian wood. The jambs are joined to the facade and the lateral sides thanks to pegged mortise and tenon securing a great stability and squareness between each parts. The upper lid is made of two joined parts and so is the facade. The ironwork is present all over the surface of the chest and brings both an additional stability to the construction as well as a rich decor. The lid is secured with hinges. Hinges also run all over the chest in horizontal and vertical lines, ending in a floral motif. The hasp lock is also very ornamental.
