About the Item

This extraordinary cupboard is made of the finest quarter sawn oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age” It is a small two-door cabinet with arched doors and sides. This cabinet is made in the Provence of Utrecht circa 1650. The arched doors and sides are typical for this province and this type of cabinet is also known as “Utrechtse Poortkast”. This cabinet is enriched with handsomely carved acanthus and ebony inlaid panels. When this cabinet was made, ebony was more expensive than gold. The amount of ebony on this cabinet makes it a very special piece of furniture. The cabinet has the original hinges and lock. Overall this piece of furniture is in very good antique and authentic condition. 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: There were some restorations done to the back of the piece as well as the lock. The three interior shelves were made in the early 1900s and look good with the use of period oak. The piece has a very appealing warm brown color with a rich patina as a result of many years of waxing and polishing.
