Facade cabinet
Facade cabinets are a type of furniture that is becoming fashionable with the Renaissance, especially in southern Germany. The name is derived from the architectural structure in the form of the facade with columns and beams in front of it, gable fields and a beam with a frieze and cornice. The development from stacked chests often resonates.
