Cabinet in Satin Wood 1750

beautiful cabinet made of rare and precious satin wood.
Single curved base cabinet.
And double curved hood.
Very beautiful model in Louis XV period.
Beautiful color and very beautiful drawing in the grain. Extra is the rotating half round plateau under the doors. see detailed photos.
The interior behind the doors is in quarter-sawn oak. With two shelves and three drawers below and two above.
A very practical cabinet in terms of storage space.

Secretary with writing flap in beautiful burr walnut.

Around 1770.

The flap rests on two long drawers (pipe drawers).

The writing area has a black calfskin inlay.

Double curved model.

Under three drawers with oak interior.

Extensive interior with many drawers and a safe with another small drawer.

Beautifully carved claw feet.

Minor restorations, condition acording age and use.

The lock is original but no longer closes.

Gothic Chest

Late Gothic chest.
A Cardinal is depicted in the middle.
Next to it are two different noble coats of arms.
And on the outside are two fleur de lis ornaments.

Dated between 1400 and 1600, the last Gothic period.
The asymmetric two-passes only appear later in the Gothic period.

Because we see two fleur de lis ornaments here, I assume that this is a French Cardinal.
Usually the Cardinals came from the Nobility, the coat of arms on the right must be of him and his family, the coat of arms on the left has a bar.
A bar through the coat of arms indicates the termination of this noble line.
Which is always the case because (officially) a priest has no descendants.

Hinches and lock are later. No key.
Restaurations.

First half of the 17th century. (1600 – 1640)

Artfully carved carving in the hood and the foot rail.

The base cabinet is double-curved and the drawers have typical rococo fittings. (asymmetrical)

The inside of the drawers is made of fine quarter-sawn oak.

The back is also made of thin quarter-sawn panels.

The lock is original, a suitable key is missing, I have added an old key as a to pull. It fits in the lock.

Underneath two beautifully carved claw feet gripping a ball.

Beautiful Column cabinet from the mid-17th century.

Named after the heavy half columns that you see in the middle and along the sides.

This design is derived from classical Greek and Roman temple construction.

Beautifully detailed fluting and joints in the columns.

Beautiful bases underneath.

In fact, such a cabinet is a reflection of classical architecture in wood.

This cabinet only got these ball feet in the 18th century.

At that time, this was an innovation and people thought that it was meant to be that way.

Before that, this piece of furniture had 'klos' legs - a continuation of what you see above the ball feet.

The oak is quarter-sawn, which is why it has that striking grain structure.

Underneath a wide drawer that is fully incorporated into the design.

The hood has that far-protruding flat horizontal edge that is typical of early 17th century Dutch cabinets.

Inside two original shelves.

The lock (see photo) is original.

Elegant secretary, mid 18th century, around 1750.

Burr walnut from the roots of the tree.

This model is called double curved because of the shape of the drawers.

Beautiful and extensive interior with two unusual secret compartments.

There are two drawers on the left and right, if you first pull these drawers out completely and then pull the edge under the drawers towards you, there is a secret compartment behind them that is hidden behind the drawers.

There is also a ‘cellar’ behind the writing area.

You can slide this flat back – there is a storage space underneath.

The fittings are cast brass in rococo line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">

The writing area is covered with green felt.

The writing cover is slightly bent so that the lock no longer works.

Beautiful claw feet on the front and beautiful carving on the plinth.

Exceptionally beautifully executed Dutch three-door cabinet.

This type is already quite rare, and then also so richly and artistically executed

In the panels we see thinly sawn coromandel wood everywhere.

This wood looks like ebony but it has a clear pattern of wide stripes.

A precious type of wood that had to be imported from Sri Lanka.

Three horizontal doors placed one above the other.

Heavy duty - 5.5 cm thick edges and sturdy panels with deep bosses on the inside.

Between the doors are rails with artistic and skilled stitching.

Also on the sides under the cornice we see beautiful stitching of acanthus tendrils.

The sides have a beautiful framework of rails and panels with fine profiles.

Above the doors is a flat frieze with carvings of small arches, as we often see in 17th century Dutch cabinets.

All locks are original and so are the keys.
