Traditional Dutch panel chest standing on vertical styles with beautiful fluting ( cannelures) and ornaments. The ornamentation and style is Renaissance and 17th century, but because these chests are so traditional, it could very well have been made in the early 18th century. On the panels you see so-called 'carved' ornaments. They go back in much earlier times. Its use is common in folk art, specially in the northern part of the Netherlands, and and has its roots long before the 17th century. The oak wood has acquired a beautiful patina over time. Originally this piece of furniture only had a lid at the top to open. Later, perhaps in the 19th century, the front was fitted with hinges so that it could be opened without having to open the top lid. For practical reasons. H x W x D 65 x 125 x 50 cm.
