Armoire - Utrechtse Toogkast - Chêne

Utrechtse Toogkast.
Fine Utrecht Arched Cabinet.
Dutch Renaissance. 1630 – 1670.
The arches in the doors are derived from triumphal arches as they appear in classical architecture.
Beautiful panels in quartersawn oak.
Also the sides have arches.

Trade had made the Dutch population the richest population in the world at this time.
And through the fact that we had a republic where the church and the king did not receive the largest share of the money but the entrepreneurs.
Displaying their wealth in their houses and households.
Giving others more well payed work.
This was a revolutionary economic circumstance.
The entire country became rich and powerful instead of only a small elite.
So those arches were triumphal arches of proud citizens.
And deliberately intended as a symbol.

Beautiful and balanced distribution of blond oak and black ebony.

Beautiful quarter-sawn oak in the panels of the doors.
See also the beautiful panels in the sides.
With refined profiling.
Wide drawer under.
The cabinet stands on original blackened ball feet.
Inside a neat and beautiful interior with shelves and a drawer.

Nice small size: 200 cm. high.
The hood can be removed for transport.
