casse (chests) (chests (case furniture), case furniture, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: General term for rectangular chests used in homes, probably one of the earliest types of home furnishings; in the chest could be stored various items, and it could be used for seating or as a bed as well. For relatively ornate versions of chests, particularly as used in Florentine homes, prefer "cassoni." |
