More information

Konsten att skapa dekorativa mönster med hjälp av olikfärgade stensorter, s.k. pietre dure, har sina rötter i antiken men fick under renässansen i Italien en särställning vid tillverkningen av dyrbara möbler. Verkstäder i Rom, Florens och Milano drev arbeten i sten till fulländning. Bordsskivor, skåp, skrin och andra dekorativa föremål pryddes av dyrbara arbeten av halvädelstenar, marmor och lapis lazuli. Stor möda lades ner på att leta fram olika stenars naturliga färgskiftningar och ådringar för att få material till att sammanställa t.ex. en fågels brokiga fjäderskrud eller en blommas skiftande färgnyanser. Renässansens människor sa att de "målade i sten, för evigheten". I Florens grundade Ferdinando I de Medici pietre dure verkstaden Galleria dei Lavori 1588 som kom att under århundraden driva stenkonsten till fulländning. Under 1600-talet var intresset stort bland de europeiska furstehoven att förvärva dylika exklusiva arbeten med pietre dure-dekor. Verkstäder skapades bland annat i Augsburg, Prag, Madrid och Paris. Ofta med hjälp av invandrade italienska stenarbetare. Det var inte heller ovanligt att konststyckena i pietre dure färdigställdes i Florens för att sedan skickas till de olika europeiska städernas verkstäder där själva möbeln byggdes och dekorerades med de importerade stenmotiven.

Auktionens skåp och bildprogram

Auktionens kabinettskåp är sannolikt tillverkat i Flandern på 1600-talet och dekorerats med samtida paneler av pietre dure från Florens. Centralt på skåpet bakom dörrparet är motivet med Adam och Eva, ormen och äpplet placerat. Ovanför står Justitia med svärd och vågskål för att döma den synd som begås då Eva ger Adam äpplet. Justitia flankeras av förgyllda bronser i from av Prudentia med spegeln och Rättvisan med svärdet. Det centrala mittfältet flankeras av olika exotiska djur såsom kattdjur, kameler, fåglar, hästar och hjortar.
