Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

We are faced with a couple of corners that were undoubtedly inserted in a richer complex probably destined to a porcelain cabinet, as can be guessed from the shelves and the lodgings for the saucers. There are still documented environments in Sicilian palaces with rooms that preserve the original wood paneling carved with these supports, on the other hand it was a widespread fashion in the second half of the 18th century where there was great consideration for porcelain, both from the East and from Europe. ; it should be remembered that the Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte in Naples was one of the most important productions of what was called white gold. If porcelain cabinets could not be missing in any palace, in this case we can hypothesize that we are in Sicily for the sake of carving but also for the pleasure of coloring the gilding with mecca creating reserves. The asymmetrical movement and the rocaille taste of carving undoubtedly place these objects in the third quarter of the 18th century. An interesting comparison can be made with the pilasters of the boiserie of Palazzo Butera, where the rocaille shelves are made in the same way.
