The article discusses the 1636 sale of a cabinet owned by the Flemish merchant Daniel Nijs to Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel. The cabinet served as cabinet of curiosities where Nijs kept his collection of gems and drawings. The author suggests Nijs was forced to sell the cabinet and its contents as a result of personal financial difficulties.
