About the Item
On offer here is an exceptional Dutch cupboard made of the finest European summer oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age”
This cabinet is made in the Provence of Utrecht, circa 1680. The arched doors are typical for this province and this type of cabinet is also known as “Utrechtse Poortkast”. The cabinet stands on bun feet and is with handsomely carved patterns and ebony veneer inlaid panels. The carving depicts elements that represent prosperity and Classic ornaments as is common in Dutch Renaissance furniture. The top of the arched doors are decorated with C-scrolls and acanthus motifs. Throughout the front and even the sides , many raised panels are enriched with a slab of ebony veneer. The ebony wood was imported by the VOC from South Africa and was a real showcase for wealth as it was more expensive than gold at the time. The cabinet has the original hinges and lock. The interior houses three fixed shelves. Overall this piece of furniture is in very good antique and authentic condition with a great patina. It has undergone minor repairs to the back cladding in our workshop. Also, the wax coat was freshened up to restore its original luster.
The cabinet is 22.05 inches deep measured on the corpus. The width measured at the corpus is 49.61 inches.
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.
Note: Ebony is a species that is restricted under the CITES law. However, in this particular cupboard, CITES documentation is not required. It therefore can be shipped across borders without problems.
The three reasons for that are:
1 The ebony used is not raw but was sawn to veneer and polished to create a smooth surface.
2 The total weight of the ebony is very low because it is a very thin sheet of wood (veneer)
3 The cupboard and the ebony veneer were made in the late 17th century. A few decades before March the 3d 1947
