Vitrinekast bestaande uit een middendeel en twee schuin geplaatste zijdelen met gesneden florale motieven c. 1905

This display cabinet, crafted by 't Binnenhuis, features carved floral motifs, symbols that extend far beyond mere decoration. These stylized botanical forms, reminiscent of wings, roots, or sprouting seeds, speak to the eternal cycle of nature. Think of the ancient Egyptian lotus, reborn daily with the sun, or the acanthus leaves adorning classical architecture, each a symbol of regeneration and growth. Here, they appear on a domestic object, instilling it with nature's vitality. Consider the 'tree of life', a motif deeply embedded in our collective unconscious. It resurfaces through millennia, bearing varied symbolism of interconnectedness and the eternal renewal of life, a shared dream of humanity in visual form. This cabinet is more than storage; it's a subconscious reminder of life's enduring promise.
