Massive Oak Bruegel China Cabinet
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! Scenes of everyday peasant life grace the cabinet doors for a charming effect. Two large cabinets and two dovetailed drawers offer plenty of storage space. The most outstanding feature of this piece is the wonderful carved columns; the figure of a lord and a lady are hand carved on these magnificent accents. This type of carving is very time consuming; yet it is some of the most beautiful carving you will ever see!!! This cabinet would be magnificent addition to your dining room! 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!
