Kast en tafel after 1878

"Kast en tafel" is a design plate featuring two pieces of furniture for a drawing room, a cabinet and a table, created by an anonymous artist after 1878. Both pieces are ornamented with marquetry, a decorative art technique using inlaid pieces of veneer, to create intricate patterns of flowers and foliage. This plate showcases the elegant and refined taste of the late 19th-century, highlighting the popularity of marquetry during this period. The plate's precise dimensions of 359 mm in height and 274 mm in width further add to the understanding of its scale and intended use within the context of interior design.
