About this seller
Product description
Beautiful Column Cabinet from the mid 17th century.
Named for the heavy half columns you see in the center and along the sides.
This design is borrowed from classical Greek and Roman temple construction.
Beautifully detailed fluting and articulation in the columns.
Beautiful basements underneath.
In fact, such a cabinet is a reflection of classical architecture in wood.
This cabinet did not get these bulbous legs until the 18th century.
At this time this was an innovation and it was thought that this was how it should be.
Before this, this furniture had "spool" legs - a continuation of what you see above the spherical legs.
The oak is quarter-sawn, which is why it has that distinctive grain structure.
Below a wide drawer that is fully incorporated into the design.
The hood has that far protruding flat horizontal edge typical of early 17th century Dutch cabinets.
Inside two original shelves.
The lock ( see photo) is original.

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 'bobbin' 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.
