Cupboard - Utrecht Bar Cabinet - oak wood

Utrecht bar cabinet.
Beautiful Utrecht bar cabinet.
Dutch Renaissance. 1630 – 1670.
The arches in the doors are derived from triumphal arches as they appear in classical architecture.
Magnificent panels of quarter-sawn oak.
The sides are also furnished with arches.
Trade had made the Dutch population among the richest in the world during this period.
Because we were a republic, most of the money did not go to the church or the king, but to the entrepreneurs.
They demonstrated their wealth in their houses and interiors.
In this way they gave others well-paid work.
This was a revolutionary economic circumstance.
The whole country grew rich and powerful, instead of just a small elite.
This was the basis on which the Netherlands became economically so successful.
Those arches were then the triumphal arches of proud citizens.
And consciously intended as a symbol.
Beautiful and balanced distribution of blond oak and black ebony.
See also the beautiful panels on the sides.
With refined profiling.
A wide drawer at the bottom.
The cabinet stands on the original blackened feet (ball feet).
Inside a clean and beautiful interior with shelves and a drawer.
Nice compact size: 200 cm high.
The cap can be removed for transport.

Bids below the limit will not be honored.
Prices are very reasonable; therefore I happily sell to people who appreciate it.
