A Fine Late Xvii Century Flemish Tortoiseshell Architectural Cabinet on Stand

17th century
For Sale by Ebury Trading
Description

A rare and of fine quality, late XVII Century Flemish European ormolu mounted ebony and red tortoiseshell cabinet on stand, of architectural form, crowned with an architectural, galleried pediment. Below: two central finely decorated doors opening to reveal a nonsuch faux architectural interior, with bone and tortoiseshell 'tiled' floor, mirrored panels and hand painted back panel depicting a fountain in a garden, surrounded by ten further drawers over a brushing slide and standing upon spiral fluted columns with bun feet. The central cabinet and drawers each with cabochon panels. This brilliantly coloured Flemish cabinet is typical of the highly intricate pieces to have come out of Flanders in the baroque period. The fashion for black furniture here, with ebonised details, but relieved by gilt-metal mounts and red-stained tortoiseshell. This piece retains its original ormolu cabinet fittings, mirror glass and sprung locks. The cabinet has been painstakingly restored and is vibrant with a wonderful sheen.

c.1680-90

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the Flanders region during the 17th century, these cabinets reflect Baroque grandeur through central architectural facades resembling classical buildings, flanked by symmetrical drawer tiers and decorated with tortoiseshell, ebonised wood, and gilt mounts.

Craftsmen applied thin veneers of natural tortoiseshell over foil or pigmentfrequently red or goldto enhance luminescence, layering these against ebonised timber frames and ornamenting the structure with gilt-bronze or brass fittings.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-chased gilt mounts, Solomonic or spiral-turned leg stands, and evidence of historic iron lock mechanisms inside the architectural drawers.

Position the piece as a focal anchor against a neutral or rich dark wall in a hallway, library, or drawing room, allowing its contrast of tortoiseshell and gilt work to define the space without surrounding visual clutter.

Maintain a stable relative humidity to prevent the organic tortoiseshell from lifting or cracking, keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and dust gently using a soft, lint-free cloth.
