This cabinet stands as a tribute to the skill and craftsmanship of Flemish artisans from the 17th century. During this century, especially in cities such as Antwerp and Brussels, there was a flourishing of craftsmanship and artistry, and Flemish furniture makers were renowned for their ability to incorporate rich materials such as tortoiseshell, ivory, ebony and other exotic fabrics into their designs.
Born during the Renaissance, the table cabinet became the essential piece of furniture in the 17th century for demonstrating the wealth of its owner and containing his treasures. For example shells, feathers, mineral stones, coral and other types of souvenirs from the Far East were kept in these 'art' cabinets.
The ebony exterior has a dark luxurious sheen, while delicate hand-carved details adorn its surface such as the ripple moulding that 'frame' the cabinet. The outside has five panels with red tortoiseshell, of which the tortoiseshell on the top and sides are inlayed in a star motif. The interior has eleven compartments with as well consealed secret parts! Also in the inside of the doors and top we can find tortoiseshell and wooden inlay work in diamond shape.
