AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive traditional Frisian Keeft cabinet.
These cabinets are made as display cabinets, to project social status.
Very richly executed. And typical for Friesland.
These cabinets were a statement.
This is a fixed and iconic piece of furniture for this area.
From the cap - with that typical profiling - it is called a kwispeldoor cap because if you mirror this profile, the shape of a kwispeldoor is created.
The heavy half-columns also belong to this style with their deep cannelures.
See detail photos.
Heavy and articulated basement above the globe feet.
Very architectural, like a classically designed building.
Complete with Greek columns and (always) Corinthian capitals.
Original lock with a working key.
Surprisingly, the interior is also something we always see with this type of cabinet: the two ajour-cut doors.
Beautiful panels on the sides.
The back has oak panels that are from a later date.
Very neatly done.
I only ship to EU countries.
Buyers from other countries must arrange their own transport.
You will receive the shipment details from me.
That can be, among others, with UPS, GLS, FedEx and DHL.
You will receive a label from your carrier and email it to me.
Catawiki has a carrier called Brenger.
