A Japanese cabinet on Dutch stand

A Japanese "pictorial style" lacquer cabinet part "taka zogan"(raised lacquer) and shagreen (ray-skin). The cabinet has two hinged doors, behind which are ten large and small drawers. The decoration of the exterior consist of mountains and pagodas including the Fuji mountain in the background. This cabinet has its original carved and giltwood stand in auricular style. The strongest and most convincing designs for this kind of furniture were published by the painter and publisher Gerbrand van den EECKHOUT (1621-1674) who had been a pupil of REMBRANDT. Eeckhout's "Verscheidene aerdige Compartimenten en Tafels"was published in 1655 and included numerous designs for sculpted furniture such as "kwabtafels", pedestals and frames entirely conceived in the auricular style. The arms of alliance are those from Derk van LYNDEN(1670 Ressen-1711 Nijmegen) and his wife Anne Wilhelmina BENTINCK (1677 Ressen 1749). Derk van Lynden was Lord of Ressen and Oldenaller and Dyke-councellor of Upper-Betuwe. They married in 1694. In 1859 Reinhard Baron van Lynden (1827-1896) married Maria Catharina Baronesse van Pallandt (1854-1905). The cabinet ended up in Eerde Castle near Ommen around 1905 via one of the heirs of Maria Catharina. Since the early 1940 it was in a private collection.
