EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning piece of artistry from the 18th century - the Jewellery Box, c. 1730. Crafted by the skilled hands of Giovanni Battista Foggini, this exquisite box is a true testament to his mastery in woodworking and decorative arts. Made with oak and ebony, adorned with intricate pietra dura inlays, bronze accents, and semi-precious stones, this jewellery box emanates opulence and elegance. Its dimensions of 34.9x52.7x43.2 cm make it a substantial yet visually striking piece. The ornate motifs on the box depict an array of birds, butterflies, floral patterns, ribbons, and leaves that are meticulously embellished throughout its surface. The gilded Italian craftsmanship adds an extra touch of grandeur to this already magnificent creation. Housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA as part of their esteemed collection, this jewellery box was created in the renowned Grand Ducal Workshops of Florence. With its delicate agate mounts and beautifully decorated ormolu vessel inside for storing precious jewels or trinkets securely; it serves not only as a functional container but also as an artistic masterpiece worthy of admiration. This photograph captures every minute detail - from the foliate decorative mount to the lustrous bronze elements - allowing viewers to appreciate Foggini's exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. It is truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
