This period immediately before the English civil war was truly the "Age of Oak." English oak cut from the heart of the tree was the principal wood at that time both for furniture and for buildings, although some of the other native woods were used to some extent. Strength and solidity were characteristics of the period, and furniture of great magnificence was made to furnish the important houses in England. The Tudor rose and linen-fold paneling are characteristic of this period. The influence of the Renaissance was felt in England during the latter part of the period, resulting in more luxurious surroundings in the homes of the wealthier class. Tudor furniture retains the Gothic structure but adds much Renaissance carving and some inlay. This incredible piece is a prime example of the Tudor style. Crafted from the best oak, this piece shines! You will love the geometric pattern on the lower cabinet doors, inset with quarter-sawn oak veneers. The incredible display case is the perfect crown for this piece. Two large glass shelves provide plenty of space to showcase all your favorite china, collectables or fine volumes. However you employ this charming case, you are sure to love the style it brings to your home.
