"Kast," a large, ornately carved wooden cabinet dating from 1650-1700, is a prime example of Dutch Renaissance furniture. The cabinet's two doors are divided into four panels each, each with a raised, geometric design, highlighting the craftsmanship of the anonymous artist. The cabinet rests on a base with two drawers and ball feet, further emphasizing the piece's refined construction. Currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this cabinet exemplifies the aesthetic ideals of the Dutch Golden Age.
