A trading republic furnishing itself
The furniture of the Dutch republic at its commercial height: walnut, ebony and floral marquetry, made by joiners who were also traders and had seen the whole world's materials.
What to look for
Floral marquetry in contrasting woods, ebony or walnut grounds, and joined rather than nailed construction.
