This style of furniture derives its name from the Dutch William III of Orange and his wife, Mary II, who became joint monarchs of England in 1689. The cabinet on stand was a highly prized piece of furniture in the 17^th century and the cabinet we have on offer is a fine example of the craftsmanship of the period; the fitted interior conceals numerous hidden compartments and despite it’s age, it still serves as a functional and aesthetic piece of furniture.
