šDesign like a kingāchoose your marble
šŖØ The GalerĆa de las Colecciones Reales (@galeriacoleccionesreales - Royal Collections Gallery) in Madrid unveils a new exhibition: āSu Majestad Escojaā, open from April 24th in the Bourbon section of the museum. It focuses on a remarkable 18th-century object: the marble sample cabinet of Spainās royal architects, used to advise the monarch on interior designs across the royal residences.
š¦ This rare ensembleācomprising over 300 marble specimensāwas 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 āchooseā the stone that would shape the aesthetics of their palaces.
šļø Two extraordinary results of those choices can still be admired today inside the Palacio Real de Madrid. The SalĆ³n Gaspariniāone of the most refined examples of Rococo interior designāincludes rich combinations of portoro, jaspe sanguĆneo and other luxurious stones selected from the same catalog.
šļø āSu Majestad Escojaā is more than a look into materialsāitās a glimpse into taste, power, and the subtle diplomacy of royal image-making. Donāt miss it. | by jepsolell
