Very beautiful German cabinet probably Black Forest dated 1590 in walnut.
The drawers as well as the door have superb chiseled locks. Which is a monumental work and a sign of the beautiful provenance of the cabinet.
The door is decorated with two coats of arms representing bears. A bear on a coat of arms and the other a bear on a helmet.
We can find the date 1590 probably the date of a marriage between two families
The doors and the drawers are decorated with wooden marquetry.
The sides are decorated with heads of cherubs and carrying handles.
Cabinet is from the end of the 16th century composite with elements added in the 19th century (including handles and heads of angels).
It rests on a 17th century Spanish walnut table which match perfectly with the cabinet.
It has a very beautiful walnut table top with a nice thickness.
Very elegant base in the shape of a lyre and connected by wrought iron spacers. It also has a drawer in the belt with its original lock
Very nice proportions between the table and the cabinet
restaurations of use and maintenance.
