Cabinet - walnut wood and oak

Beautiful and elegant cabinet.
Exceptionally well executed. High-quality cabinetmaking.
The style is Directoire - transitional period from Louis XVI to Empire, around 1790.
'Only curved', the lower cabinet has outward projection only under a curve.
Beautifully worked feet on the corners - see detail photos.
Fine marquetry on the doors - above a crossed torch and a bundle of arrows, here all the martial ornamentation towards the Empire begins.
Napoleon comes to life and the later wars.

The cap has an open relief - borrowed from classical antiquity.
In that opening an artistically carved urn.

Beautiful and extensive interior with lots of drawers.
Three inner drawers have a special lining for (silver) cutlery.
The drawers are all nicely lined and still look like new, which is why I’m leaving them as is.
The buyer will certainly appreciate this. And if not, you can easily remove it.
Also see the special fittings, large round handles made of cast brass - 10 cm in diameter.
The drawers all run smoothly.
All drawers have the original locks and keys that work well.
No visible restorations.
In top condition.
The cabinet can be taken apart and is shipped in pieces.
You must assemble it yourself. That’s not difficult.

Transport:
In the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, France and Spain we transport the furniture with packing blankets and bring it inside. In other countries it is shipped on a wooden pallet in sturdy cardboard and water-repellent film up to the doorstep.
For islands we charge a higher rate, delivery is to the door; assistance is welcome because the driver is alone, the driver cannot go inside or up the stairs.
The carrier will contact you to arrange delivery. He has your phone number and email address.

>>> These transports usually have no track-and-trace system.
I enter a dummy code in Catawiki’s computer system.
You cannot track the transport.
Take photos of the packaging upon receipt to rule out damage during transit.
Usually it is not possible to ship within three days; you may ignore Catawiki’s messages.
Normally it is between three and seven days in transit.
You approve and sign for good receipt with the driver.
Any damage must be reported immediately on this form.
That is required for insurance.
Damage that occurs afterwards is at the buyer’s own risk.
An empty form means good receipt.
The carrier will call you to schedule delivery.
You are free to arrange the transport yourself as well; please note this when paying Catawiki.

For non-European countries you must pay extra customs duties and there are additional clearance and administrative costs. For non-European countries I quote a single amount for ease, but amounts may vary.
I’m happy to inform you. Please contact me.
