Aparador

Condado de Essex norte, Massachusetts

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

El gran aparador de roble donde se guardaban textiles, plata y otros objetos de valor era el mueble más imponente de la casa en la Nueva Inglaterra del siglo XVII. Sus dimensiones y riqueza ornamental eran prueba fehaciente de la prosperidad y posición social de sus propietarios. Los ornamentos torneados de arce ebonizado en este suntuoso ejemplar interpretan libremente formas clásicas; los frentes de cajón están decorados con acanaladuras y ovos aplicados a intervalos regulares en un diseño lineal. El taller que lo manufacturó (cuyo nombre ignoramos) era reputado por la diversidad y elaborada decoración de sus arcones y aparadores de roble ensamblados a caja y espiga.
