Figure 88 Wellenschrank, probably Frankfurt
am Main, Germany, 1700-1720. Oak with pine. H. 81 1/4", W. 86",
D. 33 1/2". (Private collection; photo, David Gentry.) This design
was made either in solid oak or in veneered oak or pine. The doors are
composed of four large mitered moldings glued to one or two thick pine
planks. The base molding and cornice are each made up of four separate
moldings, but only the large ogee was made using the "pitched plank"
technique. The case can be dismantled for moving,
in the same manner as the Keteltas kast (see fig. 86). All of the feet
are restored. |
