Collector’s cabinet — History & Facts
When the doors are closed, this cabinet is relatively sober in appearance. This increases the surprise of its lavish interior with engraved mirrors. The two small central doors conceal a so-called ‘perspective’, with a niche whose inlays create the suggestion of architecture.
The drawers were probably used to store valuable items and works of art.
