Cupboard - early panel cabinet - Oak

Beautiful and early Dutch panel cabinet.
The only decoration is the panels themselves.
This simplicity was very popular with the Calvinist Dutch.
And it also gives strength to the design.
Between 1610 and 1630.

The style is clearly Renaissance with a Calvinistic tilt, not extravagant, rather restrained, which makes a powerful whole.

Very beautiful quarter-sawn oak, immediately recognizable by the striking grain in the wood.
These tiger stripes in the grain are called wainscot.
When you cut the wood straight through the center of the trunk (quartering), the vessels running from the heart to the trunk are exposed.

Early forged jaw hinges - see detailed photos.
The cabinet still stands on continuous uprights all the way to the floor, which is early; ball feet only came into fashion at the end of the 17th century and in the 18th century.
Beautiful panels also adorn the sides.

A lovely interior with shelves. (Original)

The lock is original. See photo.
