  • 17th Century Shagreen Captain's Chest, Coffre Fort or Strongbox with Gilt Mounts
    Located in Amsterdam, NL
    A rare shagreen covered and patridgewood (Andira inermis) veneered 'coffre fort', strongbox, or Captain’s chest with elaborate gilt brass mounts France or England, late 17th/early 18th century The box has long screws in the side panels to be screwed on a table, for stability on a rocking ship, or against thieves, however, his screw-key is missing (but can be made on request). Measures: H. 16 x W. 27 x D. 17.5 cm The use of shagreen, or sting-ray leather, dates back to the 2nd century CE China, and later Japan, where it was used in weapons for grip. The earliest known use for decorative purposes was in the form of furniture during the 16th century. Portuguese traders, being part of the greatest naval force in the world, imported Japanese Namban lacquer coffers adorned with shagreen, gold and mother-of-pearl. This, however, was short-lived as the Dutch began to rule the seas and monopolized trade with Japan, and thus the trade in shagreen. Throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries, English and Dutch craftsmen ordered novelty material to cover decorative items such as boxes, knife skins and shaving kits...

  • 17th C. Diminutive William and Mary Kingwood Strongbox or Coffre Fort, C. 1690
    Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
    A William and Mary Kingwood / Princes Oyster Strongbox or Coffre Fort of Diminutive Proportions, Circa 1680-1700, England. Adorned with highly decorative gilt brass strapwork and decorated entirely in knife cut oysters of kingwood, this box is fit for the most discerning of collectors. The large gilt brass shield-shaped clasp opens on a push-spring release to reveal a box interior lined in rosewood with one drawer and securing bolts. Once the lid is opened you can reach inside to slide the original gilt brass bolt lock to open the fall. Once the fall is open you will find a drawer lined in oak and simulated kingwood. The box appears decorative, but it was also very difficult to break open or steal. It has a strong lock to the centre and two bolts concealed in the sides, so that it could be screwed down into floorboards if necessary or that of a horse-drawn carriage. Strong boxes veneered in oysters of Princewood such as this were luxury objects. The cabinet-makers who would have constructed and veneered the carcase apparently sold them, often using tropical hardwood veneers, and mounted it with sets of mounts, handles and locks bought in from brass founders. The elaborate veneering and conspicuous gilded brass mounts show that the appearance of these objects was important. Thomas Pistor, of Ludgate Hill, London worked with the renowned cabinetmaker Gerrit Jensen...
