<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 694458, member: 2844&quot;]Somehow I doubt people in Germany, where this cabinet was made, or Switzerland, where this can be picked up, ever refer to this as shrunk, or shrank.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Since it can be picked up in Switzerland and probably never left the European continent, North American terms won&#039;t apply. After all, James can hardly tell a Swiss person that this is a shrunk, can he? He calls it a cabinet, so maybe he calls it a Kabinett in German, which we can&#039;t argue with imo.</p><p>I am pretty sure the German-speakers know their own furniture, they have been selling it for a few centuries longer than you have, and more of it too.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you really want to use a term which sounds German, this could be called a Kabinett, Vitrinenschrank, Vitrinenmöbel, Vitrine, Vitrinenkabinett etc. But I don&#039;t think James needs us foreigners telling him what he should call it in German.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It could be from another Bähre range, but in that case it would likely have had a label at some stage. Bähre manufactured a lot of affordable furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
