Antique 17th Century Dutch Marquetry Mirror
During the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), the Netherlands was a wealthy and powerful trading nation. This prosperity led to a flourishing of the arts, including furniture making. Mirrors were luxury items, and those with marquetry frames were typically commissioned by wealthy merchants or members of the nobility. Dutch craftsmen were renowned for their precision in inlay work, and these mirrors were often exported across Europe.
