O mobiliário civil setecentista da “Cela de Santo Ambrósio” do Museu de Arouca
| Resumo: | The so-called “St. Ambrose Cell”, in the Museum of Arouca (Portugal), is a show-case revealing the interaction of religious apparatus and vernacular domestic furniture. Many stylistic references crossed Portuguese late eighteenth-century Decorative Arts. This miniature reveals a semi-private space of a religious scholar, where he could pray, write and socialize. It’s studded with a multitude of pieces representative of the Portuguese civil fashion of the eighteenth century. Several chairs, a settee, a table, a cabinet as well books in two shelves of English influence are decorated with crimson silk fabric. Two cages hang from the ceiling. A monkey and a parrot on their perches are signs of colonial exoticism of the time. |
