Description from the seller
Stylish Dutch four-door Kussenkast (cushion-cabinet) from the 2nd quarter of the 17th century.
A great example of early 17th Dutch Classism. 1625-1640.
A very architecturally designed piece of furniture.
The whole is immediately reminiscent of 17th-century Dutch canal houses.
Due to the influence of Calvinism, this cabinet has a calm and balanced appearance.
Yet everything is very richly finished with refined profiles.
This piece of furniture has a great quality.
See detailed photos.
The entire cabinet, every part, even the back, is made of quarter-sawn oak.
In the drawing of the grain it is clearly visible that the oak is quarter-sawn.
This gives a very beautiful effect.
Technically speaking, this is of top quality.
The sawing direction shows the food canals.
An extra locker has been created behind the door at the top left - see photos.
the cabinet is made in two parts.
In the middle a wide drawer that clearly marks the boundary between the upper and lower cabinets.
With three small lion heads. See photo.
Beautiful deep cushions of which the breasts are veneered with rosewood.
Locks are original.
