“Frankfurt is the origin of the type of cabinet that is known as “Wellenschrank”. Th. H. Lunsigh-Scheuerleer mentions that it was already approved in 1686 as masterpiece of the Frankfurt carpenters guild. But its real zenith was in the first half of the 18th century after the big and abundant Baroque cabinets with there architectural reference to facades, columns and pilasters had not been fashionable any longer.The new forms were more graceful, the hieratic arrangement was abrogated in favour of a harmonic appearance. The carpenter’s main duty was to enhance the natural beauty of the basic material “wood” and to find artistic expressions for it. With this approach they torus and chamfer, an interchange of convex and concave swings in different width, height und depths, whose formal expression was even enhanced by light and shadow.The cabinet is the high point of the southern German craftsmanship. The doors consist of a single duplication with swelling embrasures, Also the socket, which is resting on spherical feet and the cornice are assembled of abundantly overhanging and heavy swinging tori and chamfers. In these forward- and back-jumping rippled limps of the furniture body the expression of light develops a power which is not to surpass.”Extract of: Lit. Kreisler “Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels” Band II 183 S.250

Züricher Wellenschrank

This wave cabinet was build with beautifully veined walnut veneer in Zurich aound 1765. The up to 3 mm strong veneer is cross veneered on pine wood .


- original locks and key- surface cleaned and polished with shellac

The Zurich wave cabinet is a late copy of the Frankfurt wave cabinet. Frankfurt’s master cabinetmakers, who had fled with their families to Zurich out of fear of the plague, have rebuilt the cabinet in a stripped down version. Complicated parts of the Frankfurt version had been reduced: ledge and base, to miter set waves on the pilasters, side panels build with frame and filling and especially the convex panels of the doors were made much lighter. For example, the doors and side panels are only made from boards that had been glued together. So the Zurich wave cabinets needed significantly less labor than the Frankfurt versions and therefore are differentiated in price.
