Carpenter's Chest Bossche School Style, The Netherlands 1960s
This is a very unusual and unique carpenter’s chest in a very distinct Bossche School style, made in The Netherlands, 1960s.
It could well be made by one of the Bossche School artists or could be made by a cabinetmaker out of the entourage of one of the Bossche School architects. It is a one off piece and truly a rare find, therefor it is a true collectable.
Made out of painted wood, the chest shows a very honest and hand made quality. Beautiful contrast between the grey outside and the red inside - both colors which were used by architects who are considered to be practitioners of the Bossche School.
The chest shows wonderful details like the strap made out of cow hide, the numerous tool-holders which can be found inside and the delicate and almost over the top execution of the inner compartiment of the chest.
Dimensions: W. 77 x D. 43 x H. 52 cm
