[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1111176, member: 2844"]The lady in Brabant says not Dutch, but a southern German (Bavarian?) or possibly Austrian 'Bauernschrank', country Schrank (shrunk :D). As for a 'dressing beuro', I can only think of the German word Büro, which means office.:confused: Büro can be written as Buero, not beuro, but what that would have to do with this piece of furniture is beyond me. It is lovely, but nothing like traditional Dutch painted furniture. Dutch painted furniture is more like this, these examples have 'Chinese lacquer' red and dark blue backgrounds, but they are also seen in pale blue, dark and pale green and ivory (colour): [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fock.wisedesign.nl%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F05%2FBeschilderde-kast-met-voorstellingen-Pieter-de-Hooch-en-Jan-Steen-2.jpg&sp=152a9baeffe3c9aa8d698f00505a9c08&anticache=565641[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F63%2Fea%2F33%2F63ea33412f7b7e522b5c3c8f854a0daf.jpg&sp=fb51ecb416bbb13ded906c9ef8d95245&anticache=733774[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.memorix.nl/zzm/thumb/1600x1600/32a0b5a9-ebb9-a5a6-ae60-1c5e525429da.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F236x%2F2a%2Fdf%2F60%2F2adf605f88b8527e142c5be869be3f9e.jpg&sp=4edee6fb825f2d2eb4e69c67010131ca&anticache=508867[/IMG] Uhm..
