About the Item
Antique 17th Century Dutch oak and ebony two-door Renaissance cabinet.
This extraordinary cupboard is made of the finest quarter-sawn oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age” It is a relatively small two-door cabinet with arched doors raised high on blackened bun feet. This cabinet is made in the Provence of Utrecht circa 1670. The arched doors are typical for this province and this type of cabinet is also known as “Utrechtse Poortkast”. The carved frieze above the doors makes this piece unique and off museum quality. The frieze has a central shell ornament flanked by floral garlands ending in angels. This cabinet is enriched with intricate carvings and geometric-shaped ebony veneered ornaments. When this cabinet was made, ebony was more expensive than gold. The amount of ebony on this cabinet makes it a very special piece of furniture. The cabinet has the original hinges and lock. Overall this piece of furniture is in very good antique and authentic condition.
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 the 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.
Condition details: There were some restorations done to the back of the piece. The piece has a very appealing warm brown color with a rich patina as a result of many years of waxing and polishing. This cabinet has always been a high-end showstopper made from the finest materials by the best craftsmen and it is in exceptional condition for a piece over 350 years old.
Dimensions: top depth: 22.8 inches, top width: 50.4 inches, overall height: 69.3 inches, hull depth: 18.5 inches, hull width: 40.9 inches.
Cites: Ebony wood is a restricted wood species under the cites act. The ebony wood used on this cabinet is only ebony veneer and the total weight is well below the threshold. Also, it is not in the raw, but part of a piece of art over 350 years old. It can therefore be shipped across borders legally.
