About the Item

An impressive early 18th century Dutch oak geometric kussen cabinet with integral secretaire Anonymous Belgium or Southwestern Netherlands; probably first quarter of the 18th century Oak, Brass, Iron Approximate size: 64.5 (w) x 70 (h) x 26 (d) in. Approximate weight: 160 lbs. This imposing cabinet is a statement piece that once would have decorated the interior ‘zaal’ or reception room of a stately Dutch home. Often found in wealthy households, ‘kussen’ cabinets—so-called for their cushion-like door panels—were the vogue of late 17th and early 18th century homes. Such cabinets were originally used to store fine linens—and in the case of this example—served also as a small writing table with hidden storage compartments. The elaborate workmanship of this cabinet features a harmonious restraint that redacts the ostentatious forms found in the earlier kussenkast cabinets of the late 17th century. The highlight of this cabinet is its beautiful chocolate patina and its elaborate multi-profiled geometrically patterned, molded and shaped panel doors covering an upper and lower cupboard divided by a central abattant that opens to a secretaire featuring six flanking drawers and a central cabinet revealing six further smaller drawers. The drawers and doors feature their original brass keys, escutcheons and pulls, albeit one pull is lacking and another is probably a later replacement. The interior cabinet door key is lacking and is superficially secured in place by tape. The cabinet is block footed, features handsome coffered sides and is surmounted by an out swept cornice. Overall, this fine example of Golden Age Dutch cabinet making showcases a discrete luxury fitting for both antiquarian or modern homes. Condition commensurate age, featuring general marks, minor scuffs, nicks, scratches, fissures, wear, scattered losses and woodworm due to old water damage along the raw hewn planks along the lower back wall of the cabinet. Ships from our storage facility in Belgium and may require ocean freight delivery if shipping to the USA. Please allow 10-to-55 days for delivery.

An early 18th century Florentine Ebonized Wood Aedicule Case

Located in Leesburg, VA

An early 18th century Florentine ebonized wood aedicule case with gilt metal embellishments Ambit of Leonard van der Vinne Possibly first decade of the 18th century; Florence, Italy Approximate size: 83.5 (h) x 69 (w) x 23 (d) cm The cabinet’s centralized glass door is flanked by thick spiraling Solomonic columns surmounting a lower drawer. To the rear of the cabinet, the motif repeats in an eloquent display of perspectival treatment. The overall work is supported by a tiered base, elegantly conceived, and the cabinet is topped by a handsome pediment flanked by square plinths crested by gilt metal finials and an openwork frieze. The cabinet’s tempered and moderate form suggests an origin probably during the first decade or quarter of the 18th century. Although utilitarian in concept, the reserved and sublime expressiveness of this cabinet is managed with a quality and care respective of the influence of Florentine ebony cabinetry work conceived in the Galleria dei lavori or Grand Ducal Workshops of the 18th century Medici dynasty. In particular, its base mouldings echo a remarkable Night Clock...
