Antique 17th century Dutch Renaissance two-door warm brown and black cupboard

About the Item

This beautiful and friendly-sized cupboard is made of the finest watered oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age” It is a two-door cabinet over ebonized bun feet. This cabinet is made in the Dutch Provence of “Gelre” circa 1680. The raised panelled doors are typical for this province and this type of cabinet is also known as “Gelderse kussenkast”. It also features many inlaid ebony and rosewood panels. When this cabinet was made, over 350 years ago, rosewood and ebony were very exotic and expensive wood species in the Netherlands. A piece like this was commissioned by the owner to display their gained wealth. The cabinet has the original forged lock, and key. The wood finish has a warm brown finish with deep gloss and a rich patina built up over many years. Overall this piece of furniture is in very good antique and authentic condition. The cupboard was made by the best craftsman of its time by the use of the finest and most exclusive material. The sheer amount of rosewood and ebony makes this cupboard an exceptional and rare work of art. The piece was gently cleaned in our atelier and a new protective wax coat was applied. The cabinet breaks down into many pieces which makes shipping and installation easy. The used rosewood and ebony veneer is very thin and the weight of the veneer is very low. Therefore it can freely be shipped across borders without CITES. The ebonized bun feet and the back legs were also renewed as is common on cupboards this old. 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.
