This cabinet is inlaid with marquetry forming geometrical patterns and stars fashionable among an earlier generation of Dutch cabinetmakers. A new feature is the narrow borders built up of minuscule pieces of wood. Quite a few comparable cabinets are known, all featuring these curious borders. Perhaps they were all made in the same large workshop.
