AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive traditional Frisian Keeftkast.
These cabinets were made as showpieces, to project social status.
Very richly executed. And typical for Friesland.
These cabinets were a statement.
This is a fixed and iconic furniture type for this region.
From the cap - with that distinctive profiling - it is called a
'kwispeldoor' cap because when you mirror this profile, the shape of a kwispeldoor is created.
The heavy half-columns also belong to this style, with those deep flutings.
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 a working key.
Surprisingly, the interior is also always seen with this type of cabinet, featuring the two ajour-cut doors.
Beautiful panels on the sides.
The back has oak panels dating 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 order details from me.
That can be with, among others, UPS, GLS, FedEx and DHL.
You will receive a label from your carrier and email it to me.
Catawiki has a carrier called Brenger.
