Herman Doomer
Dutch, Anrath ca. 1595–1650 Amsterdam
Herman Doomer was a Dutch cabinetmaker whose surviving work belongs to the refined furniture tradition of the seventeenth-century Netherlands. The archive holds a single piece from 1640, an oak cabinet veneered with ebony, snakewood, rosewood, kingwood and cedar, and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ivory and green stained bone. This one object documents the luxurious woodworking and marquetry techniques practised in Amsterdam during the artist's lifetime.
