Monumental 17th century Richly Ornamented and Coffered Flemish Oak Cabinet

About the Item

Anonymous Belgium; early-to-mid-17th century Oak, Iron mounts Approximate size: 77.5 (h) x 72 (w) x 26 (d) in. This monumental 5-door Flemish oak cabinet features a remarkably carved repertoire of traditional patterns, geometric forms, medallions, lions’ masks and angelic caryatids. Below the elaborate and richly carved overhanging cornice are three cupboard doors surmounting two larger cupboard doors along the lower portion of the cabinet. The doors are handsomely carved with geometric coffered motifs, incuse medallions, and lion masks in protruding relief. The doors are secured by four iron lock plates with their accompanying keys. The magnificent ornamentation of this cabinet is the result of French influences in Flanders and the delectable tastes of preceding cultural infusions from Spain and Northern Italy. Centers of production for these cabinets were in Antwerp, Brussels, Kortrijk, Ghent, Bailleul, Bergues and Saint-Omer. The majority of production for these cabinets can be traced to the third quarter of the 17th century although earlier examples are known, possibly inclusive of the present example which tends to relate to the productions of the second quarter of the 17th century. Regrettably, the lack of surviving data on these workshops or the artists who participated in them is scant to non-existent. Cabinets such as the present one, would have been owned by the bourgeoisie in the 17th century and used to house practical housewares such as dishes, books or food. Similar examples of this craftsmanship can be observed in the publication: ‘Mobilier de Belgique et de la Flandre Française.’ See also: Odile Canneva-Tétu, ‘Le mobilier domestique à Lille au XVIIe siècle,’ exhibition catalog. Condition commensurate with age. Minor scuffs and dings throughout. The surfaces of several lion masks are heavily rubbed with minor losses and wear to portions of the surface area. Some restorative work may be present on the interior shelving. The iron bosses above the caryatids may be a later addition. There may have also once been iron or metal appliques affixed to the cabinet doors, adjudged by old mounting holes. Please note, this item ships from our storage facility in Belgium and will require additional time to pack and ship to the USA.
