Exceptional Dutch Cabinet – Circa 1800 | Loupe de Thuya Burl Veneer | Two-Door Armoire with Three Drawers | Antique European Furniture
 
 
An outstanding example of early 19th-century Dutch craftsmanship, this two-door cabinet with three drawers dates from around 1800 and is masterfully crafted from loupe de thuya (thuya burl veneer) — one of the most prized and luxurious woods used in European furniture making.
 
The cabinet’s grand architectural form features a sculpted serpentine front, ornate carved detailing, and elegant bronze handles and escutcheons, reflecting the opulent Baroque and early Rococo influences that defined Dutch interiors of the period.
The upper section opens to spacious interior storage, ideal for linens, fine china, or collections, while the lower three drawers provide additional functionality without compromising its regal proportions. The wood’s deep, warm tones and mesmerizing burl patterns create a surface rich in depth and character, enhanced by a beautifully preserved patina that reveals centuries of history.
