Jewellery box ➔ Arte.
Identifier:
MusA-95Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, made of wood, veneered in ebony and edged in mahogany. Ironwood is used to leaf the side surfaces and the lid of the parallelepiped. Due to its beauty and applied art, the author called it "Arte" (Art).Geometrically, it consists of two parts, the storage compartment and the lid. Together they correspond to a solid which is a rectangular parallelepiped (hollow) sectioned by a plane parallel to the bases, which determines the lid and the compartment. A pair of brass hinges, which were also manufactured by the author, allow the jewellery box to be opened to a range of 180°.

Este guarda-joias foi construído na década dos anos 80, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, ricamente decorada a ébano e orlada com mogno. Devido à sua beleza e arte aplicada, o autor designou-a por "Arte". A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Árte" faz parte integrante da coleção dos 81 guarda-joias, doada à Universidade de Aveiro pelo Sr. Eng.º Joaquim Domingos Capela em Dezembro de 2013.Languages
