17th Century Italian Court Cabinet - Walnut

17th Century Italian Court Cabinet - Walnut Dollhouse Miniature

Carving was the main ornamentation of the Italian renaissance furniture in the 1600s. This miniature court table is perfectly proportioned, exquisitely detailed, the legs on this cabinet are gunbarrel turned and the carved ornament consists mainly of faceted lozenge shapes. The dollhouse table's back legs are plain rectangular characteristic even on extemely ornate pieces of furniture c1670. The idea that the description court has royal connotations is almost certainly wrong; the word court is French for short and refers to the low height of thid miniature table / cabinet reproduction. The spreader bars at the bottom and sides of the cabinet are fluted as well as the front edge of the middle shelf. The 1:12 scale dollhouse table's sides of the top section are enclosed by three spindles on either side. The center baluster is decorated under the middle shelf with a finial. This breathtaking dollhouse court table is wood finished in Walnut, measures 3" tall by 3" wide by 1.5" deep and was made by JBM Miniatures.
