[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4502576, member: 2844"]The design is based on Dutch armoires. Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony, and from the 17th century on, colonials used to commision Javanese and Madurese furniture makers to make Dutch style furniture. The tradition continues to this day, and it is often mixed with old Javanese and Madurese designs and colour schemes. Looking at your cupboard, I think it could have been made by a family, with the younger members doing the decoration.[/QUOTE]
