About the Item

This extraordinary cupboard is made of the finest oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age” It is a two-door cabinet with one drawer over large bun feet. This cabinet is made in the Provence of “Gelre” circa 1650. The raised paneled doors and sides are typical for this province and this type of cabinet is also known as “Gelderse kussenkast”. This cabinet is enriched with handsomely carved classic elements often used in both Renaissance architecture and furniture. It also features many dark inlaid ebony ornaments. When this cabinet was made, ebony was more expensive than gold. The cabinet has the original forged hinges and lock. The wood finish has a warm brown finish with deep gloss and a rich patina built up over the many years. Overall this piece of furniture is in very good antique and authentic condition. It has undergone minor repairs to its feet in our workshop. Also, the wax coat was freshened up to restore its original luster. The Dutch golden age The 17th century was an important century for the Netherlands. The region separated from the Spanish Empire and formed its republic. Dutch merchants established their first colonies in the Americas and opened up trade networks around the world. The Dutch economy flourished as much of Europe's trade began passing through Amsterdam. This money helped foster the arts, leading to the rise of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Rubens. This was the Dutch Golden Age. The strong Dutch economy and celebration of the arts provided the financial and cultural security to inspire middle and upper-class citizens to buy lots of furniture. This was a big change from sparsely furnished homes of medieval times. Dutch patrons demanded high-quality, comfortable, and stylish products, and furniture makers obliged. Dutch furniture of the 17th century was lighter, more comfortable, and more versatile than in many other parts of the world. A key form of Dutch furniture in the 17th century was the cabinet, a taller furniture item that had replaced ground-level medieval chests. Cabinets were essential furniture items in most Dutch homes, as well as in the Dutch colonies. Since cabinets were generally used to hold valuable items like linens or silverware, they were works of art themselves, and we see some of the most important styles of Dutch furniture applied here. Condition details: This cabinet has been repaired in our workshop. Some joints are repaired and older repair work to feet at the back has been repaired properly. The wax layer has been freshened up and a fresh wax coat was applied. Dimensions: 175 cm high, 40 cm deep (body), 50 cm deep (top corniche), 142 wide (top corniche) 119 cm wide (body).
