About this Item

A Dutch oak and ebony kussenkast, 19th century

Notes

The term "Kussenkast" refers to the deeply paneled doors and sides that extend several inches, creating a dynamic interplay of undulating shapes across the facade. Once used by wealthy merchants to store fine linens and garments, this cabinet represents both functional elegance and timeless beauty. Its monumental presence and detailed ornamentation, inspired by architectural forms, lend it a commanding yet versatile appeal that could seamlessly integrate into both contemporary and traditional interiors. This masterpiece is not just a storage piece but a testament to the opulence and artistry of 17th century Dutch furniture design.
