Jewellery box ➔ Tapete.
Identifier:
MusA-267Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, made of wood and veneered in rosewood. The author called it "Tapete" (Mat), given the rich decoration of its cover, which is richly decorated with motifs of links and crosses in boxwood fillets and edged with ebony leaf, reminiscent of a carpet.Geometrically, it consists of two parts, the storage compartment and the lid. Together they correspond to a solid, which is a straight parallelepiped (hollow), sectioned by a plane parallel to the bases, that defines the lid and the compartment. A pair of brass hinges, also manufactured by the author, allow the jewellery box to open up to a range of 180º.

Este guarda-joias foi construído na década dos anos 80, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, ricamente decorada com motivos de elos e cruzes e filetes de buxo. Devido à sua beleza e arte aplicada, o autor designou-a por "Tapete", porque em certa medida lhe fez lembrar um tapete. A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Tapete" 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
