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
