About the Item
17th century European furniture making was rooted in craftsmanship and durability. Furniture from this period was built to last generations, often serving both practical and decorative roles within the home. Oak was the material of choice for many regional workshops, valued for its strength and resistance as well as its ability to hold carving and ornate designs.
Cabinets like this piece reflect a time when furniture was made using rich materials and sophisticated techniques, storing objects while also signaling its maker’s skill. This oak cabinet is constructed with a strong, bold presence. The front is organised into four panels, each centered with a carved design that adds quiet ornament without overwhelming the structure. The carving is restrained and rhythmic, framed by elegant ridges that create depth and shadow across the surface. The vertical fluting at the edges introduces a subtle linear accent, contrasting with the solidity of the panels. The oak has aged into a rich, warm tone, its surface marked by natural wear that speaks to centuries of use. From the sides to the top, the cabinet feels grounded and dense, with robust joinery for sturdiness that reinforces its rectangular form. What makes this piece as compelling today as when it was first created is its balance of adornment and restraint. It carries history without feeling overly decorative, making it adaptable in a contemporary interior. The cabinet works as a focal object, offering texture and depth while remaining functional as storage.
Pieces like this bring a sense of material honesty into a space, a reminder of a time when oak was valued as part of everyday life. It stands as a quiet but powerful example of early European craftsmanship, meant to be used, and appreciated over time.

Located in Utrecht, NL
Curio or display cabinets are versatile pieces of furniture that offer a creative way to showcase its owner’s interests and style. This unique cabinet not only serves a functional purpose, but thanks to its unique characteristics, it is a charming and stylish addition to any space.
A glass display cabinet can transform an entire room. A glass display cabinet gives the perfect opportunity to put a collection on display. Books, cards, figurines, art, liquor, and an infinite amount of other trinkets can be put on display in a sophisticated, stylish manner, especially in open designs such as this European cabinet. The solid wooden structure has subtle decorative elements paired with simpler solutions like the straight face frame and top. European cabinetmakers and designers created versatile and functional models from solid wood. This cabinet is an exemplary European 20th century design, with a single shelf in the middle. Dividing the space in two, the shelf makes the design perfect to display anything as the sides are made of glass. This creates a classic look, while the open front allows the most eye-catching detail to stand out: the orange velvet inlay. Delicate objects can be safely stored and displayed on the soft velvet, and visually it creates an accent that draws the eye. The lower part is equally enticing with four thin, Marlborough-reminiscent legs and carved details.
The display cabinet style is designed for displaying curios, which are simply collections and treasured items. With its beautiful wood surfaces and velvet accent shelf...
