Beautiful early and interesting four-door cabinet, made from an earlier tradition than the Renaissance.
The Dutch four-door cabinets from the Dutch Renaissance of the 17th century often have the same layout; two small doors above and two larger ones below.
This piece of furniture, however, has nothing of the Renaissance, although it was made at the same time.
In the countryside far from the city, old traditions continued to exist longer.
And this piece of furniture was undoubtedly made in the countryside.
Characteristic carving adorns the styles with a scale-like pattern.
Also called 'counted money' because it looks like coins falling over each other.
Very professionally and regularly done.
Beautiful blond oak.
Early 'short' hinges, in the detailed photo you can also see the hinges on the inside of the doors that come out of the wood and are then flattened in sight.
This is also an old and typical Dutch method from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The back is expertly made of rules and panels.
Locks and keys are complete and original.
