Exceptional Cabinet known as the Sumene Cabinet

About the Item

EXCEPTIONAL CABINET KNOWN AS THE SUMÈNE CABINET ORIGIN : FRANCE, NÎMES PERIOD : 16th CENTURY Height: 199 cm Width: 180.5 cm Depth: 69 cm Walnut wood Good state of preservation This wardrobe is an example of the production that emerged in the small town of Sumène, in Lower Languedoc. This production mainly consisted of wardrobes of this type, renowned for the beauty of their carved decorations, inspired at times by mythology or biblical narratives, and at other times adorned with abundant stylized flora. This particularly varied ornamental vocabulary originated from the research and rediscovery of Italian artists who drew their inspiration from antiquity. This beautiful wardrobe is among those that could be found in the homes of the notables of the Lower Languedoc region in the late 16th century. Rising on a molded base, the wardrobe's structure is constructed with tenons and mortises. The side posts and the false frame rise from the base. They are carved at their tops with lion masks, while elegant fruit drops adorn their entire length. The two doors of the wardrobe are divided into six panels surrounded by a molded frame and arranged in three registers. They are adorned with finely crafted flowers and stylized Burgundian cabbages. A broad cornice covers the piece. The entablature is adorned with foliated scrolls and three heads of winged cherubs. The harmonious proportions and skillfully executed decoration make this wardrobe a remarkable creation from the 16th-century Languedoc, a testament to a unique production in this region.
