PORFIRIUS Kunstkammer by dr. ir. Alex Van den Bossche +32 (0)485 / 66 46 50 alex.vandenbossche@axilius.be www.porfirius.be
‘Let’s build your Kunstkammer’
A collection of three generations of ornamental turners’ work, all realised on the same rose engine turning lathe. The foreground box with the Tudor Rose on the cover, was made by the ‘Tudor Court Turner’, in the second half of the 16th century. He was probably a German Turner who came to work for the Tudor Court on the German-built rose engine turning lathe. The large beaker and cover by the ‘Inheritor of the Tudor Court Turner’ was made around 1600. The small beaker and cup by the ‘Second Inheritor of the Tudor Court Turner’ dates from the first half of the 17th century. All objects are made in Lignum Vitae, a fine-grained type of palissander.

A Fine Hunting Trousse, German, c. 1720-40 Germany, probably Carlsbad. Steel, gold, wood and velvet. Length: 54 cm / 21.3 in Width: 13 cm / 5.1 in PROVENANCE:
Private collection, France
I
n Europe the hunting of large game, especially deer and boar, was traditionally very much the preserve of royalty and the
nobility and was frequently carried out with great ceremony and attention to social etiquette. Usually as soon as a beast was killed the carcase was bled, opened and butchered. The initial opening of the body was often reserved for the most notable person present at the hunt. In Turbervile’s The Noble Art of Venerie or Hunting, published in 1575, there is a well-known engraving showing a huntsman handing a knife to Queen Elizabeth I in order that she may open the belly of the stag he has just killed for her. “When a good stag has been sighted, the horn is sounded, the animal is coursed and brought to bay, where some great lord will finish him off”. (H.W. Dobel; Neu eröffnete Jäger-Practica, 1746)
