Bone and Tortoiseshell Cabinet, Flanders, 17th Century

In the 17th century, the split between the Spanish Netherlands and the United Provinces led to a profound cultural upheaval. This cabinet thus bears Spanish inspiration in the bone plaques engraved with interlacing, but the geometric projections already assert a Flemish taste. It features six drawers on the front and a central door revealing four inlaid drawers. The back of the door is inlaid with the same geometric pattern as the sides of the cabinet.

The cabinet rests on flattened ball feet and is in perfect condition.
