Antique Early 19th Century Dutch Folk Art “Hindeloopen” Painted Tilt Top Table
About the Item
A beautiful antique tilt top table that was made in the Northern Netherlands, more specifically Hindeloopen in the late 1800s. The table is made of solid pine and is completely decorated. In the Netherlands, the tables are called flap-on-the-wall. When folding, one of the three legs is turned to the side. The tables are part of the traditional interior in Hindeloopen. Both the bottom and the top of the table were decorated with paintings with Biblical and mythological motifs.
The history of Hindelooper Painting
The Hindelooper Painting dates from the end of the seventeenth century. Hindeloopen was then an important trading city. Just like the Dutch cities, there was a great boom. At that time, the wealthy citizens often furnished their houses with beautifully crafted oak furniture. Sometimes the oak was also painted, for example, seaman's chests. Inspiration for this was probably gained during trade trips to Eastern European countries and Scandinavia. You see similar motifs in the folk art from those countries. Conversely, the Hindelooper painting probably also influenced the decorations there.
Painting furniture became even more common when oak became scarcer and therefore more expensive. The cheaper pine wood turned out to be a good alternative. To give the furniture a beautiful appearance, they were painted. Initially, the number of colors was limited, often brown with white accents. In the 18th century, more colors were used and the pieces were painted very colorfully. Often a Biblical scene was painted. The scenes were combined with rich decorations in the form of acanthus vines, flowers, and birds. The bird, which was brought from the travels to the Indies, is also seen as a lucky bird.
