Cabinet de Curiosité

The term cabinet originally
describe a room rather than
a piece of furniture. The classic cabinet of curiosities emerged in the sixteenth century ,although more rudimentary collections had existed earlier. It provide a solace and retreat for contemplation through symbolic arrangement of the display,
ceremoniously presented.
Display of unusual objects: discover, admire -and acquire- shells, stuffed animals,
horns, skeletons, photographs, minerals, books, jewelry, tableware, etc…
The seventeenth-century
cabinets were filled with preserved animals, horns,
tusks, skeletons, minerals as well as other interesting
man-made objects:
sculptures wondrously old,
wondrously fine or wondrously small; clockworkautomata; ethnographic specimens from exotic locations. Often they
would contain a mix of fact
and fiction,, including
apparently mythical creatures.
