Cômoda alta

Boston, Massachusetts

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 748

O móvel colonial mais ambicioso e mais inconfundivelmente americano é a cômoda alta, uma cômoda inglesa de tábua montada sobre pés com um frontão aberto. Os primeiros exemplares apareceram em Boston por volta de 1730 e os mais caros estão decorados com imitação de laca japonesa. Esta peça, única porque preservada junto com uma mesa de toucador e um espelho duplo, foi pintada com um verniz que imita o casco de tartaruga sobre o qual foram aplicados motivos dourados de chinoiserie (figuras fantásticas e pavilhões de jardim). Fabricada para Benjamin Pickman, um comerciante de Salem, Massachusetts, é o epítome da elegância cosmopolita da Nova Inglaterra da era colonial.
