52 - A cabinet on a folding table featuring a palace façade design across two registers adorned with columns, pediments, balusters, and medallions, reminiscent of Sansovino’s architecture. Imitations of semi-precious stones, marble, and lapis lazuli are rendered in wallpaper and stained glass. Entirely covered in studded leather. Small metal studs and a small wheel alternate with gilded fillets and arabesques, while a Fortuna Marina is stamped on all four sides. The open lid reveals a black-and-gold lacquer decoration featuring foliage motifs springing from urns. At the corners, silver leaf set under glass mimics the luster of large mother-of-pearl inlays imported from the Far East. It is fitted with two gilded bronze carrying handles. The table, featuring two drawers adorned with putto heads and a double crossbar, has a paneled front on the drawer. Italy, Venice, late 16th century. H. 113 L. 53 P. 37 (closed, overall dimensions).
