Dresser
Second half of the 15th century
France
Oak, copper, iron; carved, painted and gilt
266 x 137 x 53.5 cm
The dresser was altered and embellished
in the 19th century. Undoubtedly authentic
are the carving on the central panel under
the cornice showing St Barbara, St Mary
Magdalene and St Catherine, and the
scenes of the Annunciation and Adoration
of the Magi on the cupboard doors, as well
as the ornamental carving which combines
elements of Gothic and Renaissance
patterns. The Gothic style is visible in the
pointed lancet arches, the ledges with
figures, and the openwork grille
