Description
Small box with opening top, slightly convex urn front with shaped shelf support, decorated on the front with carved tablet, while the rest of the object is simply painted. The front started with four pilasters that create three reserves, the two lateral pilasters have two twisted columns on a blue background, the central pilasters are instead painted with gold candelabra and traces of color on a blue background. In the two lateral reserves, carved in bas-relief in the tablet, two poles around which oak branches are twisted; in the central reserve a quatrefoil motif with flowers and crosses on the sides encloses a laurel wreath with a bow to which a heraldic coat of arms hangs. The coat of arms, a gold band accompanied by 2 circles of the same placed on the bar all over blue, corresponds to the coat of arms of the Belloni family of Venice. In the frame under the top a pattern of successive leaves is painted, on the sides as well as on the foot a simple border with a large blue field; unfortunately the painting of the top is completely lost.

Notes historical bibliographic
It is believed that the painted or decorated and gilded chests were furnishings that accompanied the bride's dowry as a wedding gift. There are the large boxes commonly called trousseau and the rarer cassine ones, believed to be jewelry boxes. For some time scholars have been struggling with regard to placing the production of this typical Renaissance furniture in Florence or Venice; more probably they were made in various cities with slightly different characteristics, so much so that we have cases with the front painted by Florentine but also Venetian artists and similarly it had to work for those worked in pastille and painted. The coat of arms of the Belloni family should take us away from the embarrassment, it is in fact a Venetian family. Undoubted is the rarity of the Renaissance object and the state of conservation which presents decorations fully consistent with the decorations of the time and places the object in the sixteenth century. Clelia Alberici writes “… The stucco decoration, called a pastiglia, is a mixture of plaster, glue and sometimes marble dust to make it more homogeneous, spread with a brush on a thin canvas fixed to the wood. The tablet is modeled as a bas-relief by means of graffiti tools or on molds, then painted and gilded. This technique was widely used in the Renaissance to decorate chests, chests and cornices with subtle reliefs. Given the fragility of the tablet, the Venetian cassoni received are few and are part of the classicist orientations of the Lombards and of Venetian sculpture between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century ... rectangular boxes were decorated in rice paste tablets …. " Published in Alberici's volume we find a pair of very similar caissons with a protruding front, a convex one like this one and a shelf below.Age: 16th Century / 1501 - 1600
