Description:
Decorative lacquered curio cabinet produced by Pulaski Furniture Corporation, retaining its original manufacturer’s label on the underside. This cabinet reflects Pulaski’s late 20th-century interest in Asian-inspired forms, combining traditional lacquer finishes with Western display cabinetry.

The cabinet features a black lacquer exterior with finely detailed gilt geometric borders and floral motifs framing the doors and panels. Two beveled glass doors open to a mirrored interior with adjustable glass shelving. The case is lit from below, allowing light to rise through the shelves and illuminate displayed objects evenly—an especially desirable feature for collectors displaying art glass, porcelains, or sculptural objects. Glass side panels further enhance visibility and light distribution.

Pulaski Furniture, founded in Virginia in the early 20th century, became one of America’s most recognized furniture makers, known for solid construction and decorative statement pieces. Cabinets of this type were produced in limited decorative lines and are increasingly sought after for their bold presence and functional display design.
