BUDDE (Johann Hermann Budde, Master 1774), Warendorf in Münsterland around 1780. After his three-year apprenticeship and subsequent two-year period of service in Warendorf, Budde went on tour as a journeyman carpenter to Vienna, Aachen and Münster between 1762 and 1774, as the sources show. In 1774, he was awarded the title of master carpenter by the town of Warendorf and in the same year joined the Warendorf carpentry guild as guild master. During his time in Vienna, he worked as a journeyman carpenter for various masters until 1765. The design for his characteristic five-pillar cabinet dates from this time. After his return, he continued his apprenticeship with Master Schester in Münster. There is evidence of 10 pieces of furniture from his work. In most cases, the supporting wood is oak, veneered with walnut, burl ash and plum band inlays. The special feature of his closets is the number of five pilasters on the pilaster strips, which divide the wardrobe vertically and exceed the usual number of three columns. The slanted pilasters lead the side walls over to the wall and are purely decorative. The design for this type of furniture by the master shows the outline of the cabinet, which served as a model for a series of his cabinets. He based the motif of the volutes of the Corinthian capitals of the pilasters decorated with fittings on a model from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1762. Characteristic of Johann Hermann Budde's workshop are the shapes of the banding, which frame rectangular surfaces, intersect and form a square. The dark bands are emphasized by a light ash thread. The strictly geometric ribbonwork form is abandoned in favor of overlapping semicircles or intertwined loops, lace and tassels. His furniture bears witness to a commercially successful workshop that was able to meet the demands of the Warendorf upper class. He had a diverse clientele, with his competitors supplying the princely houses. The Budde workshop existed for another 200 years and was continued by his descendants.

Starting with strict but pompous forms, Baroque furniture developed into playful pieces of furniture with numerous curves and magnificent fittings by the middle of the 18th century. Baroque chests of drawers mostly date from the period between 1720 and 1750 and feature multiple curved fronts and veneer marquetry. Baroque tables and chairs feature lavishly curved legs, the lower ends of which end in volutes or animal hooves. Towards the end of the Baroque period and the Rococo period, the curved legs of tables and chairs merge into the frames in a single sweep. Baroque cabinets are usually disproportionately large by today's living standards, as they originally stood in castles. Heights of 2.40 to 2.60 meters are not uncommon for baroque cabinets.
