Flemish art or collection cabinet with paintings of Biblical scenes. Belgium, circa 1650. Flemish Cabinet on later base with torsted legs. Biblical scenes. A flap at the top with a mirror in the middle. Behind the door a tiled floor and pillars of ivory and mirrors. This art or collection cabinet is a good example of a luxury piece of furniture such as that manufactured in Flanders and especially in Antwerp in the 17th century. In these types of cabinets were collectibles such as coins, perfume bottles, shells, jewelry etc. keep. Many of these art cabinets not only have many drawers but also a so-called ‘aedicula’. This Latin word means "little house" or " House of God." Made from native fruit wood, probably pear wood which is then polished to make it black and look like Ebony. The paintings on the doors and drawers represent the following New Testament stories or persons: (behind the relevant story there is always one reference to a gospel text; in some cases the same story is in several Gospels) if there is no textual reference, this means that the scene in question is a biblical concept but not a story in a certain chapter. The base of the art cabinet was manufactured in the 19th century. Provenance: Private collection, The Netherlands With CITES document. H. 127 cm W. 63 cm D. 38 cm
