<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 317164, member: 2844&quot;]Absolutely beautiful, Michelle, I love it.</p><p>I&#039;m with opoe, this is a Dutch kussenkast.</p><p>I am not convinced it is a 17th century one, a lot of older styles were copied in the 19th century. The handles on the sides are not a 17th century feature, but no doubt useful. The 19th century ones are by no means fakes, just following the historic revival taste of the time, with very good craftsmanship.</p><p>It looks like the black wood is ebonized, made to look like ebony, I can see a lighter rim on one of the feet where the colour has worn a bit. Another sign that it is likely to be 19th century. I would expect a 17th century kussenkast of this quality to have real ebony.</p><p>If you ever want to have the back restored, this is the inside of a Dutch kussenkast:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2017/6/19/d/2/8/d282895a-1692-4ea4-9c71-4996abec3621.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
