A Teak and Brass Bound Table Cabinet, probably late 18th century, of rectangular form, the two hinged doors enclosing an arrangement of ten drawers with brass drop handles, raised on bracket feet with shaped apron, 60cm by 43cm by 51cm

Cabinets of this design are thought to have been made for Dutch Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie officials in either Batavia (now Jakarta) or Sri Lanka. The metal fittings and the unusual drawer construction are both typical of the form. The design was presumably derived from contemporary Japanese and Chinese lacquer cabinets. There is a similar example made of teak in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and another in the Gemeenten Museum, Den Haag.
