Discover the delicate beauty of this Embriachi wedding casket, crafted in 15th-century Italy. Made with intricately carved bone and horn panels set in wood, this piece was designed as a luxurious bridal gift to hold precious keepsakes. The detailed scenes celebrate love and marriage, showcasing the exceptional skill of the Embriachi workshop.

The Embriachi workshop, founded by Baldassare degli Embriachi, was active from the late 14th to early 15th century, originally in Florence and later in Venice. Known for their mastery of certosina—a complex marquetry technique combining stained wood, bone, and horn—they produced altarpieces, triptychs, and marriage caskets for prestigious patrons across northern Italy and Burgundy.
