VINTAGESTAN BOOKS
Title: The Badminton Cabinet. Lichtenstein Museum Vienna 
Summary: The Badminton Cabinet is an 18th-century Baroque cabinet, created in Florence between 1720 and 1732 by the Medici workshops. It was commissioned by Henry Somerset, 3rd Duke of Beaufort, for Badminton House in England. It is considered a masterpiece of Baroque decorative arts, combining sculpture, architecture, and intricate stone inlay. 
The cabinet represents the luxury craftsmanship of the Medici court workshops and the peak of pietra dura production.  Within the Liechtenstein Museum collections, the cabinet is often described as the “crowning glory” of the decorative arts galleries. It exemplifies the museum’s focus on Baroque art, luxury materials, and aristocratic collecting traditions.
