 The
"Adrei Patras" contains a mahogany dining set, made in 1918 by I.F.G. de
Windt Furnitures (Gigi de Windt). It consists of a round dining table with
twelve chairs (two with arm-rests), two sideboards, a vitrine cabinet and
a sideboard table.
Mongui Maduro paid 695.42 guilders for
the mahogany wood needed for the set and 928 guilders to Gigi de Windt
for labor. In december 1920, He paid an extra 150 guilders for the second
sideboard. It differs just a little bit form the original set; the knobs
are a little larger and the incised lines in the ears of the splashboard
are missing. But most of the wood used for the drawers is not mahogany
but pitch-pine.
All the elements of the set have turned
legs with an applied roundel on cubical elements. Both the sideboard table
and it's original partner have the same incised lines in the splashboard.
The knobs are made of wood and the escutcheons are simple metal ones.
The dining table is an extention table,
which can be enlarged with three separate parts. The table has four legs,
but in the centre there are three additional legs to support the extra
boards.
Often there was a special holder for the
extension boards. Neither the holder nor the extention leaves have survived
the years.
This large marble-topped sideboard showes
great Renaissance-influence. It was made during the last quarter of the
19th century. It has four small display shelves. The lower half consists
of two drawers and two cupboards underneath. The connections of drawers
and other elements are made with ‘doken’ (wooden pins).
