Title: Kunstkammer Georg Laue: Perspectiva. A Nuremberg Renaissance Casket for the Marquesses of Lothina.
Description: 2018, (23 x 28,cm), 112 pp. English text, numerous full colour ills., hardbound. A magnificent Court Casket with trompe l'oeil marquetry and engraving made in Nuremberg in 1565 in the workshop of The Master of Perspective. For centuries the Casket was in the famed collection of the marquesses of Lothian at Newbattle Abbey, and has not been seen in public since 1883. Research on this Casket by Georg Laue, Kunstkammer Ltd has established it as one of the earliest examples of Kunstkammer (cabinet of curiosities) furniture. More importantly, it connects Wenzel Jamnitzer's newly-invented perspective machine and eleven important works of South German marquetry, including the present Casket, that feature polyhedra in a three-dimensional manner, firmly establishing that they were all made in the same Nuremberg workshop.
