Singleton, Esther: Dutch and Flemish furniture (New York: McClure, Phillips & Co, 1907)

Seventeenth Century (Dutch)
is embellished with a handsome ceiling and portraits of
seven stadtholders. The two chimney-pieces in the hall
of the first chamber represent War by Jan Lievens and
Peace by Adr. Hanneman.
An example of Philip Vinckboons's work is the Trip-
penhuis in Amsterdam, built in 1662 in the classic style.
This is now occupied by the Royal Academy of Science.
Exceptionally noteworthy specimens of interior carv-
ing of this period are : Renaissance chimney-piece and
a Gothic chimney-piece in the Louis XIV style in the
Antiquarian Museum, Utrecht ; a chimney-piece dating
•from the end of the seventeenth century, with a group of
the stamp-masters of the cloth-hall, by Karel de Moor,
in the Municipal Museum, Leyden ; carved panelling in
the council chamber, Woerden (1610) ; carvings in the
church at Venlo ; panelling in the palace of the Princess
Marie on the Korte Voorhout, The Hague; a pulpit of
1685 in Broek in the Waterland; and a monument in
the church of St. Ursula, Delft, to William of Orange,
begun in 1616 by Hendrik de Keyser, and finished by his
son Peter.
The Rijks Museum possesses many examples of
panelling, chimney-pieces, and separate pieces of furni-
ture ; and several entire rooms have been correctly
arranged. Among these is a room with wall-panellings
and chimney-piece from Dordrecht (1626). The ceiling,
supposed to be by Th. van der Schuer (about 1678), re-
presents Morning and Evening, and is from the bedroom
of Queen Mary of England, wife of William III, in the
Binnenhof, The Hague. The gilt leather hangings and
other furniture in this room are of the same date.
