19th Century, Dutch Colonial Satinwood and Ebony Linen Press

pkversion — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 00:41:18 +0000

Early 19th century, Dutch Colonial satinwood and ebony linen press. Cabinet is composed of solid satinwood with solid king ebony trim and inlay.
Handmade in Sri Lanka, where both satinwood and ebony are indigenous, the cabinet was made with no nails, using dowels only. The cabinet was made for Colonial Military, and was built with the intention to collapse and travel. The characteristic striations in the King Ebony crown and details compliment the satinwood. The design of this piece reflects the Dutch influence in Sri Lanka, as seen in the ebony flower motif.
The linen press opens to a solid ebony shelf, with four smaller shelves underneath, atop a base with turned legs containing two more pull drawers. The cabinet has been outfitted for use as an entertainment center, a solid wood panel clips in back.
Originally from Galle.

18th Century Dutch Plum Pudding Linen Press

pkversion — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 00:38:22 +0000

Spectacular 18th century Dutch bombe linen press, made from exquisite mahogany and plum pudding figured mahogany throughout the piece. This piece is stunning and is of very large size. The crown has a gorgeous scalloped shape and molding which shows that nothing on this piece wasn’t considered when it was made. The doors on the top open to reveal four shelves over a bank of smaller drawers, flanking a central drawer that pulls down into a small writing surface. The sides are shapely and made of simply grained mahogany, so not to distract from the show stopping front of the case. The base of the case has three smaller drawers over three larger drawers for additional storage. The front of this piece is magical. The plum pudding mahogany is so spectacularly grained , you honestly have a hard time taking your eyes off of it. The case is raised on tall and shapely bracket feet (wheels are not included). This piece is absolutely divine, and would be a focal point in any house that is lucky enough to have it!
