đDesign like a kingâchoose your marble
𪨠The GalerĂa de las Colecciones Reales (@galeriacoleccionesreales - Royal Collections Gallery) in Madrid unveils a new exhibition: âSu Majestad Escojaâ, open from April 24th in the Bourbon section of the museum. It focuses on a remarkable 18th-century object: the marble sample cabinet of Spainâs royal architects, used to advise the monarch on interior designs across the royal residences.
đŚ This rare ensembleâcomprising over 300 marble specimensâwas created by order of the Crown and meticulously assembled by Giovanni Battista Sacchetti and Francesco Sabatini. Housed in elegant pine chests, it allowed kings to literally âchooseâ the stone that would shape the aesthetics of their palaces.
đď¸ Two extraordinary results of those choices can still be admired today inside the Palacio Real de Madrid. The SalĂłn Gaspariniâone of the most refined examples of Rococo interior designâincludes rich combinations of portoro, jaspe sanguĂneo and other luxurious stones selected from the same catalog.
đď¸ âSu Majestad Escojaâ is more than a look into materialsâitâs a glimpse into taste, power, and the subtle diplomacy of royal image-making. Donât miss it. | by jepsolell
