A MONUMENTAL ORMOLU-MOUNTED HARDSTONE CABINET ON STAND

THE FIVE FIGURES ATTRIBUTED TO GIOVANNI BATTISTA FOGGINI (1652-1725) AND GIUSEPPE ANTONIO TORRICELLI (1659-1719), CIRCA 1714, THE ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE PROBABLY LATER BUT INCORPORATING EARLIER ELEMENTS

The ebony-veneered architectural cabinet surmounted by a standing military figure, with four allegorical figures on the corners and a front drawer, each side with a hardstone marquetry panel surmounted by a hardstone cartouche including two low relief panels, all on a parcel-gilt, ebonized wood pedestal with garlands and lion’s paw feet under a red velvet cover

46 ½ in. (118 cm.) high; 34 2/3 in. (88 cm.) wide; 31 in. (79 cm.) deep, the cabinet

45 in. (114 cm.); 41 in. (104 cm.) wide; 37 ½ in. (95 cm.) deep, the pedestal





Provenance

The figures and two cartouches with reliefs almost certainly commissioned by Cosimo III de' Medici (1642-1723) from the Galleria dei Lavori, Florence, possibly for a monument as a tribute to his son Ferdinando de’ Medici (1663-1713).

The cabinet and the stand, the Collection of the Rothschild family, Grand Hall in the Château de Ferrières, Seine-et-Marne.

By descent to the present owners.
