Stylish cabinet from the Empire. This style broke with the previous period with much stricter shapes. This cabinet is also called a 'gate cabinet' after the gate above the cornice. We see a beautiful pattern in the grain of the wood. The cabinetmaker made thin layers of veneer from the wood from one tree and mirrored them in relation to each other so that symmetry was created. A very careful job. Veneering was then seen as an extra high-quality craft. There were no machines at the time to do this easily by machine. Below three large wide drawers. They are expertly dovetailed. The interior behind both doors is equipped with two large shelves and above that two smaller, shallower ones. The double layer of drawers at the bottom is special. You never see that. With very beautiful quarter-sawn oak panels. In total there are seven drawers behind the doors. See photo A very practical piece of furniture. The gate can easily be removed. I have added one photo without the gate. The lock is original and so is the key. Transportation: In the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, France and Spain, we transport the furniture in packing blankets and store it indoors. The rest land on a wooden pallet in sturdy cardboard and splash-proof foil and delivered to the front door. We charge a higher rate for islands, delivery is to the door, please help because the driver is alone, the driver is not allowed inside or up the stairs. The carrier will contact you to deliver. He has your telephone number and email address. >>> These transports usually do not have a track and trace system. I am entering an empty code for Catawiki's computer system. You cannot track the transport. Take photos of the packaging upon receipt to rule out damage during transport. Usually it is not possible to ship within three days, you can ignore Catawiki's reminders. It is usually between three and seven days in transit. You approve and sign for good reception with the driver. You must report any damage immediately in this form. This is necessary for insurance. Damage that occurs afterwards is your own responsibility. An 'empty' form means good reception. The carrier will call you to make an appointment for delivery. You are free to arrange the transport yourself, please indicate this when paying to Catawiki.
