This quality antique cabinet has a shaped moulded cornice above a finely inlaid frieze decorated with linked oval swags and floral motifs. Further boxwood stringing and delicate inlaid borders enhance the rich mahogany throughout.
The central glazed door features an attractive geometric astragal design and opens to reveal three shaped display shelves lined in a pale patterned fabric. Curved glazed panels to each bow end allow displayed objects to be viewed from several angles, while the deep red interior provides a striking backdrop for porcelain, glassware, silver or decorative collections.
The lower section of the door has a beautifully inlaid panel centred by an oval figured mahogany reserve. The cabinet is raised on four slender square tapering legs terminating in spade feet.
A particularly elegant antique display cabinet with graceful proportions and excellent decorative detail, ideal for a drawing room, dining room, hallway or refined contemporary interior.
