About the Item
Collector's Cabinet.
Antwerp.
XVIIth century.
Ebony, wood (oak?) embroidered silk.
Restored, with some imperfections.
Two doors and top lid with locks.
Small upper drawers and one large lower drawer.
The choice of ebony and silk reflect the taste for exotic materials of the 17th century.
Due to the fragility of silk, only very few cabinets of this type have survived.
Central panel, embroidered with a tree motif using a particular relief embroidery technique that imitates the effect of the tree's foliage. Among the embroidered flowers there are carnations and tulips, very popular at the time, and also exotic birds, these are motifs that suggest an influence from the East and the art of the colonies.
Behind the central door there are two small wooden drawers with thread.
The lid opens in the upper part and is divided into three parts inside.
there is a key.
The state of conservation is average, but it has the advantage of not having undergone any changes or significant replacements, neither at the level of textile decoration nor at the level of cabinet making.

- 16th C, Biblical, Manner of Joos van Cleve, Madonna with Child, Oil on PanelBy Joos van CleveLocated in brussel, BEAttentive observer, may I challenge you to find some unusual elements in this panel painting? One detail has to do with the symbolic use of color, the other with a later adjustment of the image. Indeed! The Blessed Virgin is not dressed in her usual sky blue cloak, which refers to her purity, but in a red robe. During the Late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, the Virgin often wore such a red garment to refer to the Passion of Christ. After all, the blessing Christ child with his orb would shed his blood for the redemption of mankind. The second strange element catches the eye when one looks closer at the little Jesus. It appears that he was originally depicted completely naked, but got on a transparent loincloth over time. In the past there were several times when nudity in art was subject to some form of censorship. For example, the supervision of Christian art was strongly encouraged by the Council of Trent (1545-1563). This assembly was dealing with the inner-ecclesiastical reform of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the important theologians who followed the council’s guidelines was Joannes Molanus (1533-1585). He did not consider the nakedness of the Christ Child to be edifying and pointed out that children could be endangered in this way. He may have been referring to the dangers of paedophilia. During the 19th century, puritanism emerged. A famous example of a moral preacher was Pope Pius IX...Category

- 18th C, In the Style of the Classicizing Baroque, Biblical, Rebekka and EliëzerLocated in brussel, BEWillem Muys was a Dutch, 18th-century painter of history pieces, portraits and cabinet pieces. Above all, he appears to have been active as a painter of ‘wallpaper’. Until the mid-18th century, ‘wallpaper’ was not painted on paper but on coarsely woven linen. Wealthy citizens had their mansions or country estates adorned with ‘wallpaper’ with landscapes, exotic birds or chinoiseries. Willem Muys mainly painted ‘wallpaper’, which means that few of his works have been preserved. They are hardly represented in public collections. The works of his sons, Nicolaas en Robbert, both painters, are a little less rare. The painting with Rebecca and Eliezer...Category
