Chest, c. 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning hand-carved wooden chest created by the American artist Francis Borelli during the 1930s. This exquisite piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Borelli's exceptional skill in woodcarving, painting, and design. The chest, with its rich, dark brown hue, is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and delicate floral motifs, all expertly carved into the wood. The artist's deft touch is further evident in the watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite details that add depth and dimension to the design. The chest's lid is adorned with a large, hand-painted floral arrangement, its petals and leaves rendered in vibrant colors that contrast beautifully with the chest's dark wood. Borelli's "Chest, c. 1937" is a testament to the artist's mastery of traditional decorative arts and his ability to infuse them with a modern sensibility. The chest's design is reminiscent of the Art Deco style that was popular during the 1930s and 1940s, yet it retains a unique and distinctly American character. The chest's placement in the National Gallery of Art's collection is a testament to its significance as a piece of heritage art. It is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This chest, with its beautiful craftsmanship and historical significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, or the history of woodcarving. Whether admired for its artistic merit, its historical importance, or its simple beauty, Francis Borelli's "Chest, c. 1937" is a treasure that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
