About the Item

20C Walnut Dutch Linen Pres -the upper section with foliate carved crest above two panel doors opening to reveal shelves and drawers, the base with two short over two long drawers above a shaped apron, on ball and claw feet Dimensions 185cm wide x 240cm high x 70cm deep The Golden Age of the Netherlands spanned for nearly a century finishing towards the end of the 17th century. It was at this time that the Netherlands saw economic prosperity and artistic achievements many of which are now on display in the art galleries all over the world. Most of the Dutch Masters plied their trade during this Golden Age, Johannes Vermeer being possibly the most well known and popular. As prosperity grew, so did the status of many households creating a need for more sophisticated furniture yet functional. The Dutch linen press met this need providing large amounts of storage space to store linens, garments, and other household items. This same ability to provide ample storage has been utilised in many of today’s home although with a modern twist. It’s not unusual to now see the Dutch linen press used as a television or hi-fi cabinet. Incorporating a flat screen television into the upper section is a straight forward process, with the lower shelving housing any ancillary units.
