An Antique Black Forest Carved Walnut Cave à Liqueur, dating to the late 19th century. The piece is crafted from a warm-toned hardwood and features a complex architectural form with a central hinged lid, flanked by a group of carved birds of prey at the corners. The front facade displays deep relief carvings of two hunting dogs, surmounted by a scrolled crest with crossed rifles, a rooster, and a banner inscribed with “DAE DONS L’OVIE”. The side panels feature openwork and relief floral motifs, while the reverse shows carved game birds beneath another rooster crest. A brass plaque on an interior door is marked “TH. MEIJERS ROTTERDAM V/D STEEGEN” (repeated upside down). A yellow auction sticker visible on one side bears the number “903”. The item exhibits a rich, aged patina.
