Fine !7th Century Zeeland Cabinet

Fine !7th Century Zeeland Cabinet

Beautiful Zeeland cabinet, circa 1650.
Beautiful patina.

Very beautiful and richly finished, yet harmonious with many refined details.
Typical of a Zeeland cabinet are its proportions: low and wide.

At this time, the people of Zeeland were extremely wealthy through trade (Dutch East India Company) and shipping, and they reflected this in their furniture. This cabinet is an example of this.
Four doors with a wide drawer between them.

These cabinets always have a separate upper cabinet that rests on the lower cabinet.

The moldings in the doors are called cornice moldings.
Also typical of the Renaissance.
Very beautifully and artistically carved lion heads.
The Zeelanders have a lion standing half in the water on their coat of arms.

Note also the beautifully detailed sides with inlays.

Shipping:

I do not ship to the U.S. or countries outside the EU.
Switzerland and Norway are not part of the EU. These buyers must arrange for their own transportation.
French Louis XVI Corner Cabinet

French Louis XVI Corner Cabinet

Elegant corner cabinet from the Louis XVI period, circa 1770.

Beautiful honey-colored mahogany on oak.
A surprising amount of storage space; see photos.
Four large doors, between which is a central drawer and two long "pipe drawers," so named after the long stone Gouda pipes from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The sliding tabletop beneath the drawer is certainly also surprising.
In one photo, I've placed a bronze candlestick on this tabletop.
See photos.
Closed, we see only a dentil molding.
Beautiful, refined piping inlaid in the doors, which run around rosettes.

Corner cabinets don't appear large; they fill a corner that is usually a wasted space.
You need a corner with walls at least 90 cm wide each.

The drawer key is for pulling the drawer open.

The right upper door is slightly warped above the lock plate, but this isn't a problem.
The cabinet is made in two pieces so the upper cabinet can be separated from the lower cabinet.

I do not ship to the US or countries outside the EU.
Buyers must arrange their own transportation in such cases.
Ziegler

Ziegler

This beautiful hand-knotted Ziegler rug of Afghan origin is a paragon of craftsmanship and elegance.

 

With its generous dimensions of 363 x 250 cm, this rug offers an impressive focal point for any interior, from classic to modern.

 

The rug is crafted from high-quality Afghan wool, known for its natural sheen, softness, and durability.

The rich, deep red center is adorned with a refined floral and vine motif, bordered by a wide cream border with harmonious floral decorations.

The colors are traditionally obtained with natural dyes, resulting in warm, vibrant hues that only enhance with age.

 

Condition of the rug:

The rug is in excellent condition – clean, free of stains, with perfectly intact borders and headboards. The knots are firm, and the surface is thick and full, indicating a high knot density and longevity.

 

A Brief History of Ziegler Rugs

 

Ziegler rugs have their origins in the 19th century, when the Swiss company Ziegler & Co. Ziegler established itself in Arak, Iran. The goal was to produce hand-knotted carpets specifically for the Western market.

The patterns were refined, the colors softened, and the designs adapted to the tastes of European and American interiors.

The name Ziegler became iconic for high-end carpets.

trumeau with red marble top.

Elegant trumeau from the Napoleonic period (1810-1830).

The Empire line-height: 100%; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-bottom: 0cm">Beautiful Napoleon Rouge marble.

The gold ornaments are cast bronze and then fire-gilded with mercury and 14-karat gold.

Beneath the marble top is a drawer.

And below that, a mirror.

These trumeaus often have a mirror—this creates a pleasant, playful, and lively effect, almost adding a sense of space.

 

A stylish piece of furniture.

Fine ans Rare Dutch 17th century cabinet

Fine ans Rare Dutch 17th century cabinet

A very rare single-door cabinet, only 94 cm high.
Beautiful and full Dutch Renaissance. Circa 1650.
Very beautiful and skillfully carved ornamentation.
Deeply carved as well.
With a typical Zeeland character.
Zeeland or Antwerp, as that city was also very close.
Also typically Zeelandic is the beautiful cornice panel in the door.
Very richly detailed.
A drawer above the door.
The side posts extend all the way to the floor; this is common in early cabinets; ball feet only became popular later in the century.
Beautiful patina in the wood.
The lock is original.
But it's very rare to find such a small size.

chinese table, opium table

chinese table, opium table

 

A beautiful and refined Chinese table. This piece was originally made as an opium table to lie on while in use. Now it makes an ideal coffee table.                
Beautiful carvings along the edges.

 

 

 
set of 6 chairs around 1820 French Empire

set of 6 chairs around 1820 French Empire

Set of six Empire chairs, circa 1810-1825

Usually made of elm, these are made of a much stronger wood: ash.

Sable legs. 

Although ash is also flexible, it is much harder and stronger.

The backrest features an urn-shaped design featuring birds.

The upholstery fabric is of excellent quality and in a matching ecru color.

 

Original, vintage springs provide excellent cushioning.

The chairs are all sturdy.

 
chiffonnière, chest with drawers Dutch early 19th century

chiffonnière, chest with drawers Dutch early 19th century

A beautiful chiffonier with six practical drawers.
A special feature of these drawers is that the front can be opened using a handy hinge mechanism – you press two catches and then the front folds down.
This makes it much easier to access the contents.

Rare, sometimes you see this with just one drawer, with a desk behind it, but here it applies to all the drawers.

Transition from Louis XVI to Empire, circa 1795.

Very beautiful wood – satinwood – with a beautiful grain pattern.
Elegant tapered legs.
A brass gate sits above.

I've included two photos of Hollywood Regency lamps to show a combination of two very different style periods that still go so well together, providing inspiration for those pursuing an eclectic interior.
You can also see the effect a wall painted in a slightly different color than white has.

The piece is in very good condition.

two 18th century english chairs

two 18th century english chairs

A lovely set of 18th-century English chairs.

Two lovely roommates.
Beautiful and traditional dark patina on the oak.
That dark patina is typical of English antiques.
They are sturdy—they were thoroughly inspected years ago and restored where necessary.
In excellent condition.

Rare gotic case.

SOLD

Rare gotic case.

Small Gothic chest.
Rare piece, between 1450 and 1550.
Gothic is almost uniform; national differences are barely visible, if at all.
I call it Dutch, but a Fleming could just as easily call it Flemish, for example.

Almost a small table chest, 37 cm high and 70 cm wide.
Beautiful and original carvings on the front.

Practically entirely original. The two clamps under the lid seem to be later, as does the floor.
The lock is attached with sturdy bolts.

I removed one bolt to inspect it, and it is original from that period—forged, and the threads are hand-tapped and also old.
Inside, one document box is missing on the left.

Thick walls—you can tell how thick they are by the dovetails.

The lock works, and so does the key.
