About this Item
Dutch walnut parquetry 'kruisvoet' cabinet, 18th century
the rectangular top above a pair of doors enclosing a later modified interior, above a frieze drawer with green baize lining, raised on barley-twist legs joined by a cross-stretcher, terminating in bun feet, parquetry veneer throughout
height: 176cm; width: 126cm; depth: 52cm
Notes
'Kruisvoet' translates literally to 'cross-foot', referring to the cross-stretcher base beneath the cabinet. This form is distinctly Dutch and helps differentiate these cabinets from English William & Mary or German equivalents.
Kruisvoet cabinets were made to store linen, silver, documents and valuables but were also a sign of wealth, taste and status.
The geometric venering cut from walnut imported via trade routes, reflects the Dutch taste for order, balance and precision.
