CABINETS, CUPBOARDS AND ARMOIRES
17thC Flemish table cabinet veneered with tortoiseshell and inlaid with bone.
Interiors fitted with small drawers set around miniature cupboard. Doors, if any, panelled or flush. Stands constructed either as cupboards or, more usually, as table-frames; but many cabinets exported from Florence, Antwerp and Augsburg without stands, which were made later at destination.
Cupboards: On early Italian types, carved motifs, e.g. lion masks, at centres of panels (often three to each door). The 17thC German Schrank relied mainly on arrangements of mouldings, sometimes with carved details or a central panel of marquetry. Finest late-17thC French armoires decorated with boulle marquetry – patterns cut out in veneer, or brass inlaid into turtleshell ground.
XIV French armoire with superb wood marquetry in the style of Bou Ile, Cabinets: Florence specialized in pietredure – inlaying drawer-fronts with pictures of birds and flowers in hardstones – lapis, chalcedony, jasper, agate – and marbles, against an ebony-veneered carcase mounted with ormolu. Centre of activity was the Uffizi, under patronage of the Medicis.
At Eger in Bohemia, a highly complicated combination of intarsia and carving was used. Antwerp, Augsburg and Middelburg also decorated drawer-fronts and doors with intarsia, and veneered the sides and top with ebony. Mace, a skilled French craftsman, spent two years at Middelburg about 1620, learning the art of veneering in ebony and returned to Paris to work for the Crown. Louis XIV owned magnificent cabinets, both Italian and, later, French.
Amsterdam was noted for large cabinets decorated with floral marquetry. About 1690, Van Mekeren was the leading maker.
Stands were either turned or, for some of the finest cabinets, richly carved with scrolls, foliage, figures of cherubs, slaves, nymphs or tritons.
East India trading companies brought in cabinets from Japan and China, decorated with figures in gilt on a ground built up with successive coats of lacquer made from sap of a tree (Rhus vernicifera); imitated in Europe by `japanning’with a substitute (gum-lac, seed-lac or shellac). Dutch examples considered best copies. Carved stands were silvered or gilded.
Good examples of the German Schrank now sell at high prices, but bargains in big cupboards from other countries may be found. Highly decorated cabinets very expensive; a pietre dure example was sold in 1990 for £8,580,000 – a world record for any piece of furniture. Simpler types often reasonable in price. Early European copies of oriental lacquer cabinets can cost more than originals.
STANDS
Do not reject a good cabinet because the stand is not obviously ‘original’ – it may well be one of those originally made many hundreds of miles from the birthplace of the cabinet.

French Cupboards

A walnut cross-banded glazed-door antique French cupboard of c.1725, with broken pediment. It has been suggested that such cupboards became popular at the time to store and display the expensive tea sets then in vogue.
The figure of the walnut veneers is elegantly matched and the moulding on the cornice is gross-grained.

Price Range: $60 -$90
Value points: Colour and patination
Size  small  Quality of mouldings
An oak French cupboard of c.1740, with panelled doors banded in mahogany. Cupboards of this style, often as a low stand were made from the beginning of the century onwards but the dentillated top cornice and mahogany decoration indicate the date mentioned. Rather a large form of French cupboard generally.
Mid eighteenth century mahogany French cupboard, c.1750, with broken pediment and panelled doors. The moulding to the cornice is finely executed and the dark figured mahogany in the shaped door panels is rich in colour.
A mid eighteenth century oak bow-fronted French cupboard with fluted pilasters. The H hinges are typical of the type used by country makers, although the pilasters add quality to the piece, c.1750.
Oak bow-fronted country French cupboard with mahogany banding on the doors. Probably of late eighteenth century date. The top moulding is dentillated and there is an inlaid medallion in boxwood and ebony at the top of the flat side surfaces, c.1780.
A late eighteenth century oak French cupboard with a panelled door with three drawers below. Beneath the bold top cornice moulding there is a band of mahogany veneer. The three small drawers suggest that the piece may have been designed for kitchen use although the quality of construction and door panel moulding are of fairly refined craftsmanship. c.1790.
Late eighteenth century mahogany French cupboard with fluted sides and decorated with satinwood inlays. The oval central panel to the door is decorated with a beautifully figured piece of mahogany veneer. The top cornice is dentillated with satinwood inlay and the frieze is also decorated with an inlaid satinwood classical motif, c.1790.
