Studded Travel Cabinet In Painted Wood And Nantes Canvas, 18th Century

Travel cabinet or studded trunk, in painted wood and Nantes canvas, early 18th century.
The trunk is covered with coated canvas on all its visible sides and therefore exposed to the elements during long journeys in the back of coaches.
Its front face is decorated with nails forming a bouquet of flowers in a vase.
From the central flower emerges the mercury-gilt bronze entrance decorated with flowers and foliage.
Its domed lid opens onto an upper compartment lined with Nantes canvas, late 18th century, early 19th century.
This antique upholstery was made later.
The front face opens onto six drawers and a fixed part in painted wood decorated with a landscape featuring an angel hunting a deer and figures on the upper part.
The lower part is decorated with flowers, bunches of grapes and geometric patterns.

The trunk rests on a Louis XIII table in blackened wood.
The table has a system of steel pulls and a blackened wooden crosspiece to support the front of the cabinet.
Table added later.

Note : the key and lock are missing, slight tears in the oilcloth at the right hinge and mainly on the lower part.
