Sacristy cabinet

Italian, Florence or Siena

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 500

From the early fifteenth century on, such cabinets were made to store valuable textiles or tableware. Small pieces of iron joined with brass solder form the tracery of the key's bow. The key is for the credenza on an adjacent platform.
