$16,500.00

This extraordinary 17th-century Dutch Kussenkast, or Cushion Cabinet, showcases the rich craftsmanship of the Baroque period, constructed from oak and ebony with striking architectural details. 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. Classical fluted Ionic columns frame the piece, while intricately carved lions and human figures add to its grandeur. The entire piece is supported by exaggerated bun feet. 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.
