The craft of making cabinets and fine wooden furniture, or the cabinets and cabinetwork collectively.
From 'cabinet' (a small room or piece of furniture) plus '-ry' (suffix denoting craft or activity). Cabinet itself comes from French, related to 'cabine' (cabin).
Cabinetry represents the exact moment in history when woodworking became fine art—Renaissance craftsmen started hiding precious collections in elaborately decorated wooden boxes, elevating carpentry to luxury!
