Jewellery box ➔ Baú.
Identifier:
MusA-286Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, made of wood and veneered in rosewood. In the decoration, this jewellery box is edged with boxwood threads and rosewood strap. Due to its shape, the author called it "Baú" (Trunk). This was the first jewellery box to be designed by the artist.Geometrically, it consists of two parts, the storage compartment and the lid, both hollow on the inside, and shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped and a semi-cylinder, respectively. The plane separating the compartment and the lid contains the axis of the semi-cylinder and is parallel to the base of the parallelepiped. The interior of the union of these two solids constitutes the utilitarian part of the piece. Between the compartment and the lid is a pair of brass hinges, parallel to the axis of the semi-cylinder, also manufactured by the author, allowing the jewellery box to open up to 180°.

Este guarda-joias foi construído na década dos anos 80, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, folheada a pau-rosa, orlada com fios de buxo/cinta de pau-rosa e fecho em latão. Devido á sua forma, o autor designou-a por "Baú". A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Baú" 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
