• About the artwork
  Louis XIV cabinets, also known as “cabinets of curiosities,” were sumptuous rooms dedicated to the display of rare and precious objects. This highly refined 20th-century cabinet, made in the style of Jan van Mekeren, is an excellent example of the Louis XIV style. These Louis XIV-style cabinets are used as centerpieces in both classic and modern interiors. This example is in perfect condition. The marquetry on the cabinet was done by a highly skilled craftsman. Marquetry is a decorative technique that involves creating patterns by inlaying pieces of wood, metal, ivory, or other materials into a surface, usually wood. This technique, which dates back to antiquity, reached its peak in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in France during the reign of Louis XIV.
