The greatest of the Flemish sixteenth-century masters of genre was Pieter Bruegel the Elder. We know little of his life except that he had been to Italy, like so many northern artists of his time, and that he lived and worked in Antwerp and Brussels, where he painted most of his pictures in the 1560s. The 'kind' of painting on which Bruegel concentrated was scenes from peasant life. He painted groups of peasants, merrymaking, feasting, working and going about the tasks of their daily lives. The furniture that bears his name is usually adorned with this type of carving, as is this magnificent china cabinet! This incredible cabinet is truly beautiful! Look at the magnificent leaded glass cabinet doors; it would make an incredible display case for your parlor! The columns on either side of the glass are carved with the figures of peasants for a striking effect. Four lathe-turned feet connected by a fine trestle stretcher, support the base of this fine piece. This marvelous piece is sure to find a place in your heart and in your home. However you imagine using it, this gorgeous cabinet is a fantastic investment as well as a wonderful heirloom that you can be proud to pass down for generations! -c704oc169
