About the Item

This elegant single-door cabinet was made in the Southern part of the Netherlands in the late 17th century. It was made in the best quality quarter-sawn oak in the tradition of the Dutch Renaissance during the “Dutch golden age”. The piece is of exceptional quality and was made completely in watered oak. Watering is the placing of freshly cut wood in water, usually from nine months to three years, up to ten years for oak. As a result, the minerals, nutrients, and starch present in the wood are dissolved in the water. It used to be thought that this made the wood more durable, but it has been found that watered wood develops fewer hairline cracks when drying and that this is the cause of it being more durable. Prolonged watering also wears out the wood, making it 'quieter', and keeping the beams and planks cut from it straight. The cabinet is completely authentic and is equipped with two fixed shelves and the original lock key and hinges. The piece was gently cleaned and a new protective wax coat was applied. The cupboard is clean, solid, and ready for use. The Dutch golden age The 17th century was an important century for the Netherlands. The region separated from the Spanish Empire and formed its republic. Dutch merchants established their first colonies in the Americas and opened up trade networks around the world. The Dutch economy flourished as much of Europe's trade began passing through Amsterdam. This money helped foster the arts, leading to the rise of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Rubens. This was the Dutch Golden Age. The strong Dutch economy and celebration of the arts provided financial and cultural security to inspire middle and upper-class citizens to buy lots of furniture. This was a big change from the sparsely furnished homes of medieval times. Dutch patrons demanded high-quality, comfortable, and stylish products, and furniture makers obliged. Dutch furniture of the 17th century was lighter, more comfortable, and more versatile than in many other parts of the world. A key form of Dutch furniture in the 17th century was the cabinet, a taller furniture item that had replaced ground-level medieval chests. Cabinets were essential furniture items in most Dutch homes, as well as in the Dutch colonies. Since cabinets were generally used to hold valuable items like linens or silverware, they were works of art themselves, and we see some of the most important styles of Dutch furniture applied here.
