This Dutch cabinet, created by Jan van Mekeren between 1695 and 1715, is a stunning example of marquetry, a technique that involves inlaying different types of wood to create intricate designs. The cabinet's doors are adorned with floral motifs, showcasing van Mekeren's mastery of this decorative art form. The cabinet's elegant form, with its four turned legs and serpentine stretchers, is a testament to the refined taste of the Dutch Golden Age. This piece is a testament to the artistry of van Mekeren and the skill of Dutch cabinetmakers during this period.
