18th Century Dutch Collector's Cabinet

Price: $5,900

18th Century Dutch Collector's Cabinet was designed for the express purpose of keeping a wide variety of numerous collectibles in one case, and features, behind the main cabinet doors, a total of 19 interior drawers and an interior small cabinet.  The casework surrounding this design resembles that of trunks from the era, with wrought iron strap hinges and exterior support brackets as well as bale handles, all fashioned by hand from red-hot wrought iron.  Even the key guard was meticulously fashioned from wrought iron and resembles a violin base.  The panels on each door feature an intriguing rectilinear geometric design, with a tailored crown molding across the top overlooking the piece.  The separate stand upon which it rests was produced about a century later in the 1800s using pegged mortise & tenon joinery, and was also fashioned out of solid old-growth oak.  This interesting artifact was literally designed to last for centuries!
