AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A magnificent and monumental Zeeland cabinet (cushion cabinet) from the Dutch Golden Age (mid-17th century).
As can be seen in the photos, the cabinet is made of solid oak and features a splendid, deep patina. The cabinet has a classic, harmonious two-part structure:
Upper section:
- Equipped with two doors with refined carving, flanked and separated by fluted pilasters with decorative wooden drops/pendants. The doors have inlaid, rectangular cushions with contrasting ebony (or blackened wood) panels.
Lower section:
- Two larger doors with the characteristic, geometric 'cushion' panels and a central darkened element that adds depth to the piece. Here too, clean, fluted styles adorn the whole.
Details:
- The cabinet stands on sturdy, straight legs that continue from the fluted corner pilasters. Complete with original or period-appropriate locks and functioning keys.
This imposing piece is in a beautiful, well-worn antique condition with a lovely character and the inevitable, but non-intrusive, signs of age that belong to a piece over 350 years old.
Specifications
