Cabinet

dated 1567 , Artist: Giovan Battista Panzeri gen. Serabaglio , Plattnerarbeit

 

 

Cabinet

This cabinet recalls the elaborate (impermanent) architectonic structures, charged with pertinent symbols, that cities would erect for the triumphal entry of a sovereign. The unusual technique is informed by the art of armourers and turns this piece of furniture, designed to store a collection of objets d’art, into an exceptional showpiece in its own right.

Location: Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Kunstkammer Wien Raum XXXII
