This style celebrated the serene beauty of the home and emphasized aesthetic purity, which this vitrine reflects perfectly through its proportions and choice of noble materials. It is designed to appear light yet dignified within an interior.

The piece has undergone professional restoration, returning it to its original luster and elegance. The foundation is robust solid spruce, veneered in cherry on the exterior for a warm, honey-toned finish, while the interior is brightened with maple veneer. This combination creates a striking contrast between the cabinet exterior and interior. The original wood polish has been sensitively refreshed, highlighting the delicate grain of the cherry wood. The furniture is fully functional and provides a representative space for displaying prized collections or glassware.
