Fine ans Rare Dutch 17th century cabinet

Fine ans Rare Dutch 17th century cabinet

A very rare single-door cabinet, only 94 cm high.
Beautiful and full Dutch Renaissance. Circa 1650.
Very beautiful and skillfully carved ornamentation.
Deeply carved as well.
With a typical Zeeland character.
Zeeland or Antwerp, as that city was also very close.
Also typically Zeelandic is the beautiful cornice panel in the door.
Very richly detailed.
A drawer above the door.
The side posts extend all the way to the floor; this is common in early cabinets; ball feet only became popular later in the century.
Beautiful patina in the wood.
The lock is original.
But it's very rare to find such a small size.

Transport:

We only ship within the European Union.

So, not across customs borders.
Even if the Catawiki system automatically indicates otherwise.
Norway and Switzerland are outside the EU.

chinese table, opium table

chinese table, opium table

 

A beautiful and refined Chinese table. This piece was originally made as an opium table to lie on while in use. Now it makes an ideal coffee table.                
Beautiful carvings along the edges.

 

 

 

set of 6 chairs around 1820 French Empire

set of 6 chairs around 1820 French Empire

Set of six Empire chairs, circa 1810-1825

Usually made of elm, these are made of a much stronger wood: ash.

Sable legs. 

Although ash is also flexible, it is much harder and stronger.

The backrest features an urn-shaped design featuring birds.

The upholstery fabric is of excellent quality and in a matching ecru color.

 

Original, vintage springs provide excellent cushioning.

The chairs are all sturdy.

 

chiffonnière, chest with drawers Dutch early 19th century

chiffonnière, chest with drawers Dutch early 19th century

A beautiful chiffonier with six practical drawers.
A special feature of these drawers is that the front can be opened using a handy hinge mechanism – you press two catches and then the front folds down.
This makes it much easier to access the contents.

Rare, sometimes you see this with just one drawer, with a desk behind it, but here it applies to all the drawers.

Transition from Louis XVI to Empire, circa 1795.

Very beautiful wood – satinwood – with a beautiful grain pattern.
Elegant tapered legs.
A brass gate sits above.

I've included two photos of Hollywood Regency lamps to show a combination of two very different style periods that still go so well together, providing inspiration for those pursuing an eclectic interior.
You can also see the effect a wall painted in a slightly different color than white has.

The piece is in very good condition.

Transport:
In the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Spain, we transport the furniture in packing blankets and store it indoors. To other countries, we ship it on a wooden pallet wrapped in sturdy cardboard and splash-proof film, and it will be delivered to your front door.
For islands, we charge a higher rate. Delivery is to your doorstep. Assistance is required, as the driver is alone and is not allowed inside or up the stairs.
The carrier will contact you directly to arrange delivery.
They have your phone number and email address.

two 18th century english chairs

two 18th century english chairs

A lovely set of 18th-century English chairs.

Two lovely roommates.
Beautiful and traditional dark patina on the oak.
That dark patina is typical of English antiques.
They are sturdy—they were thoroughly inspected years ago and restored where necessary.
In excellent condition.

Rare gotic case.

SOLD

Rare gotic case.

Small Gothic chest.
Rare piece, between 1450 and 1550.
Gothic is almost uniform; national differences are barely visible, if at all.
I call it Dutch, but a Fleming could just as easily call it Flemish, for example.

Almost a small table chest, 37 cm high and 70 cm wide.
Beautiful and original carvings on the front.

Practically entirely original. The two clamps under the lid seem to be later, as does the floor.
The lock is attached with sturdy bolts.

I removed one bolt to inspect it, and it is original from that period—forged, and the threads are hand-tapped and also old.
Inside, one document box is missing on the left.

Thick walls—you can tell how thick they are by the dovetails.

The lock works, and so does the key.

Lori Pampak 1913

Lori Pampak 1913

Rare and beautiful Lori-Pampak Kazakh rug from Armenia.
Dated: 1331 in the Georgian European calendar of 1913.
This rug is truly antique and 112 years old!
You rarely see such a beautiful Lori-Pampak rug.

On those large octagons in the field, we see a remarkable and iconic figure—it resembles ET.
No one I know knows its meaning.
This is the symbol of the Lori-Pampak region; it's a city and a region named after it.
Four trees of life next to the octagons.

Strikingly beautiful, warm, and natural plant colors—a gorgeous brick-red field.
Fine borders and headboards.
This rug would be a beautiful wall hanging—a common practice among traditional Armenians and connoisseurs.
The height is ideal—241 cm.

cocoon jar Han dynasty

cocoon jar Han dynasty

Rare Cocoon Jar (Hu) – Han Dynasty, 206 BC – 220 AD – Terracotta with Original Paint Decoration
Description:
A rare and distinctive cocoon jar from the Han Dynasty, made of terracotta and featuring original hand-applied paint decoration. This type of burial find is typical of Han period burial practices, where it was believed that objects from everyday life could accompany the deceased in the afterlife.
The jar has a spherical body with a narrow base and a short, flared neck. The paint decoration—consisting of red and ochre pigments—forms stylized patterns symmetrically applied across the surface. This paint was applied directly to the fired pottery, without glazing, as was common for ritual and funerary ceramics from this period. The decorations remain partially visible despite their age, significantly contributing to the aesthetic and archaeological value of the piece.

Fine Mahogany Cabinet 1790

Fine Mahogany Cabinet 1790

Beautiful and elegant cabinet.

Exceptionally well-made.

High-quality furniture craftsmanship.

The line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm">"Single-curved," the base cabinet only curves outward at the bottom.

Beautifully detailed corner legs—see detailed photos.

Beautiful carving on the doors—above a crossed torch and a sheaf of arrows—here, the martial ornamentation of the Empire is already evident.

Napoleon and the later wars take shape.

 

The hood has an open pediment—derived from classical antiquity.

Inside this opening is an artistically carved urn.

 

Beautiful and extensive interior with many drawers.

Three drawers inside have special linings for (silver) cutlery.

The drawers are all beautifully lined and still look like new, so I'm leaving them in place.

The buyer will certainly appreciate this. And if not, you can easily remove it. Also note the unique hardware: large, round cast brass pulls, 10 cm in diameter.

The drawers all run smoothly.

All drawers have their original, fully functional locks and keys.

No visible restorations.

In excellent condition.

The cabinet can be disassembled and assembled and will be shipped in parts.

You will need to assemble it yourself, which is not difficult.

fine Ziegler rug

fine Ziegler rug

This beautiful, hand-knotted Ziegler rug of Afghan origin is a paragon of craftsmanship and elegance.
With its generous dimensions of 363 x 250 cm, this rug offers an impressive focal point for any interior, from classic to contemporary.

The rug is crafted from high-quality Afghan wool, known for its natural sheen, softness, and durability.
The rich, deep red center is adorned with a refined floral and vine motif, bordered by a wide cream border with harmonious floral decorations.
The colors are traditionally obtained using natural dyes, resulting in warm, vibrant hues that only become more beautiful with age.

Condition of the carpet:
The carpet is in excellent condition – clean, stain-free, with perfectly intact edges and headboards. The knots are firm, and the surface is thick and full, indicating a high knot density and longevity.

A Brief History of Ziegler Carpets

Ziegler carpets originated in the 19th century, when the Swiss firm Ziegler & Co. established itself in Arak, Iran. Their goal was to produce hand-knotted carpets specifically for the Western market.
The patterns were refined, the colors softened, and the designs adapted to the tastes of European and American interiors.
The name Ziegler became an iconic name for high-end carpets.

Although originating in Iran, modern Ziegler carpets are primarily made in Afghanistan and Pakistan – using the same traditional methods, but often incorporating local influences and materials. Afghan Ziegler carpets are known for their robust quality, warm appearance, and natural colors.

This carpet is very thick and heavy, hence additional transportation costs.
