Edwards & Roberts Dutch Marquetry Display Cabinet on Chest

18th century
Description

An 18th/19th Century Walnut Edwards and Roberts Dutch Marquetry Display Cabinet on Chest, including a receipt of purchase directly from Edwards & Roberts in 1890. Arch-topped and decorated with floral and arabesque Dutch marquetry patterns, this piece features four drawers, all inlaid with marquetry, two glazed doors, and a bombe-style chest base. Two-door examples of these cabinets are also very unique and rare to find, as they are most commonly seen as single-door display cabinets. Believed to be an older cabinet from the 18th century restored or reimagined by Edwards & Roberts in 1890, it is stamped on the top drawer "Edwards & Roberts".

FAQs

A Dutch marquetry display cabinet on chest is a two-part furniture piece combining an upper glazed vitrine for display with a lower chest of drawers, adorned with complex floral wood inlays typical of seventeenth and eighteenth-century Dutch design.

These cabinets are typically constructed using a oak or pine carcase veneered in walnut, fruitwoods, and sycamore. Hand-cut marquetry panels feature floral and foliation motifs, complemented by cast brass drawer handles and hand-blown glass panes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawed veneers, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and natural age-related shrinkage in the wood panels. Cabinets produced or retailed by renowned firms like Edwards & Roberts often bear stamped maker marks on the drawer tops or door edges.

Place the cabinet as a focal point against a neutral or dark muted wall in a dining room, drawing room, or hallway. Style the glazed shelves with simplified collections of white ceramics or glass to balance the intricate floral wood pattern.

Keep the cabinet in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or drying. Clean surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
