19th century French walnut single door display cabinet c.1870

This finely constructed French pier cabinet is distinguished by its richly figured timber, carefully arranged veneers and extensive gilt-bronze ornaments.

The cabinet has a strong architectural presence, with a broad moulded cornice above a glazed central display compartment, the interior fitted with deep burgundy velvet shelving. The highly figured timber is particularly striking, with contrasting veneers used to emphasise the structure and contours of the piece.

The decoration is characteristic of the French revival of eighteenth-century forms, with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts applied throughout the cabinet. Foliate and rocaille ornament frames the glazed compartment, while further mounts embellish the sides and lower section. The shaped plinth and moulded feet give the cabinet a graceful finish.

A stunning example of French artistry, perfect to be used in a multitude of areas within the home.
