Coffre gainé de cuir brun, souligné de doubles rangs de clous

Le cuir, d'un brun presque noir, a pris au fil du temps des éclaircies fauves aux arêtes et sur le couvercle, là où l'usage l'a frotté. Des doubles rangs de clous dorés tracent le pourtour de chaque face et dessinent sur le couvercle plat un cartouche aux angles rentrants. Des bandes de métal doré renforcent les coins et les bords ; une poignée tombante garnit le flanc, tandis qu'un anneau et une entrée de serrure en écusson occupent le centre de la façade. Le volume, bas et allongé, reste sobre.

Longtemps, le coffre a tout porté. Jusqu'à la fin de la Renaissance, il sert à ranger, à transporter, à voyager, et tient lieu à l'occasion de table ou de siège. Le bahut, sa variante à couvercle bombé, était déjà recouvert de cuir et de clous : les têtes ornaient, le cuir faisait barrière à l'humidité. Vers 1700, la commode prend le relais du rangement domestique, mais les coffres gainés ne disparaissent pas : vers 1850 et après, l'essor du chemin de fer multiplie les malles de voyage en cuir. Rien n'indique à quel usage celui-ci, daté du XIXe siècle, était destiné.

Read in English

The leather, a brown close to black, has lightened to tawny along the edges and across the lid wherever use has rubbed it. Double rows of gilt nails trace the border of every face and, on the flat lid, draw a cartouche with canted corners. Bands of gilt metal reinforce the corners and edges; a drop handle hangs on the side, while a ring and a shield-shaped escutcheon sit at the centre of the front. The volume, low and elongated, stays restrained.

For centuries the chest carried everything. Until the end of the Renaissance it was used to store, to transport and to travel, and served on occasion as table or seat. The bahut, its domed-lid variant, was already covered in leather and nails: the heads ornamented, the leather kept out damp. Around 1700 the commode took over domestic storage, yet leather-covered chests did not vanish, and from around 1850 the rise of the railway multiplied leather travelling trunks. Nothing indicates what use this nineteenth-century example was made for.
