Getting started with the collection:
Mirrored cabinet
attributed to Dirk Froger, c. 1764
The cabinetmaker wanted to give this large, heavy cabinet a Rococo shape, but did not succeed in avoiding straight angles and mouldings. Because the silver is marked with a ‘year letter’, this piece of furniture can be dated rather precisely.
