From a source of inspiration that is still very Renaissance, the cabinet, which furnishes precious objects, has itself become a jewel and is shrouded in mystery. It was the most fashionable piece of furniture in the 17th century. A palace more than a fortress, the cabinet imitates the facades of buildings to better hide its drawers and secret caches.
