A Louis XV Display Cabinet
The display cabinet is the most charasteristic Dutch furniture type of the 18th century. As far as the shape it looks like the usual cabinets, but vitrine cabinets contain glazed doors and sides. A stepped and arched cornice is placed above the two glazed panelled doors and sides enclosing an interior with three shelves. In the shaped lower part two small and two long drawers, on ball-feet.
