Item Details
Description
Fine 19th century inlay dutch marquetry window bench seat. Lyre ends on each graceful curved side. Measures approximately 32" tall, 30" wide and 14" deep. *Provenance: Dr. Douglas D. Ashley Estate, Charleston SC Marquetry almost certainly originated in Holland in the mid 17th century, following the 1685 Revocation of the Edict of Nantes when many Huguenots fled to Holland and took with them their exceptional skill and craftsmanship. This was a golden age for Dutch craftsmanship and the decorative arts in general excelled. The great passion of the time was for flowers and in particular tulips; vast sums were paid for the latest and rarest types. For the decorative arts, marquetry was a perfect vehicle to decorate furniture with flowers. All furniture can be picked or or shipping arranged by buyer from Charleston SC
