About the Item

A beautiful early 18th-century four-door Renaissance cupboard in the best quality solid oak and walnut veneer. The cupboard boasts a warm honey color combined with deep gloss and a rich patina built up over 300 years. This is a 'kussenkast' or pillow cabinet, a typical cabinet that originates in the Dutch Golden Age. Pillow refers to the shape of the raised panels on the doors. It is a showcase for its creator's craftsmanship and the principal's wealth. These types of cabinets were usually located in a house's reception or salon to impress all who saw them. The Dutch Golden Age; The 17th century was an important century for the Netherlands. The region separated from the Spanish Empire and formed its republic. Dutch merchants established their first colonies in the Americas and opened up trade networks around the world. The Dutch economy flourished as much of Europe's trade began passing through Amsterdam. This money helped foster the arts, leading to the rise of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Rubens. This was the Dutch Golden Age. The strong Dutch economy and celebration of the arts provided financial and cultural security to inspire middle and upper-class citizens to buy lots of furniture. This was a big change from the sparsely furnished homes of medieval times. Dutch patrons demanded high-quality, comfortable, and stylish products, and furniture makers obliged. Dutch furniture of the 17th century was lighter, more comfortable, and more versatile than in many other parts of the world. A key form of Dutch furniture in the 17th century was the cabinet, a taller furniture item that had replaced ground-level medieval chests. Cabinets were essential furniture items in most Dutch homes, as well as in the Dutch colonies. Since cabinets were generally used to hold valuable items like linens or silverware, they were works of art themselves, and we see some of the most important styles of Dutch furniture applied here. The cabinet has an upper cupboard and a lower cupboard both featured with two doors. It stands on two solid ebonized bunfeet. The doors feature elevated panels with a rich décor of the beautiful grain of the walnut veneer. The stiles are decorated with walnut inlaid panels. The keyhole can be hidden by sliding panels on both doors. On the interior, there is a half shelf in the upper cupboard and a single shelf on the lower cupboard. hardware is original This cabinet has been carefully cleaned at our workshop and is now ready for use.
