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