    I'm sure folks would love to help, Martin. But your Album in the Gallery is set to Private instead of Public. No one has permission to see your pictures.

    It doesn't look Dutch Colonial to me. And no Chinese influence. It looks like Northern European folk furniture.
    It may have been made somewhere in Europe and taken to Kalimantan by country people who tried their luck there. It doesn't look very Dutch, but Belgium was once part of The Netherlands, and many north Germans went to Indonesia as well, because their culture and language were closely related to Dutch culture and language. Could even be Danish, or French provincial.
    Sorry, that is a wide range, but it is a pretty generic folk or provincial style. There are buyers for this style, but it has no stylistic link to Asia.

    This is Dutch Colonial, with the usual preference for intricate carving:
