Rare South German marquetry table cabinet the hinged doors opening to a compartmentalized interior with nine drawers. The outside door panels are inlaid with depictions of birds and flowers. The inside intarsia depicts quirky architectural landscapes. Lorenz Stoer's Geometria et Perspectiva, which was published in 1567 inspired intarsia workers to execute work featuring buildings. They experimented with perspective often imbuing the designs with a touch of Moorish fantasy. The intarsia workers were mostly settled in Augsburg. Augsburg was a cabinet making centre since the beginning of the 14th C.
Origin: South German; Circa: 1700; Materials: various woods on a pine carcass.
