A Late 17th Century Flemish Tortoise Shell and Ebony Cabinet on Stand.

Description

An Antwerp ebonised and red-stained tortoiseshell cabinet, the moulded cornice above a panelled drawer and door enclosing a fitted, perspectived interior with a mirrored colonnade and chequered floor, and flanked by four cabochon-moulded drawers over a writing slide and triple-panelled frieze with three corbels on six compound baluster legs and a platform stretcher. This piece retains its original ormolu cabinet fittings, much of the base is original but there been restorations and replacements. 1090 mm wide, 430 mm deep and 1540 mm high. Circa 1685.

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. Such cabinets formed an international style that was sourced from as diverse countries as China, Japan, Italy, Spain or Bohemia to name a few.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

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.
