An elegant Louis XV style display cabinet with a writing surface, crafted from precious wood inlaid with rich floral motifs. This refined piece is distinguished by its curved, three-pane glass front, beautifully showcasing the displayed objects, as well as by the quality of its finely chased and gilded bronze mounts.

The upper section opens with a central glass door flanked by two fixed side panels, revealing an interior lined with red velvet and featuring two display levels thanks to a glass shelf.

The lower section comprises six drawers: a large central drawer, two curved side drawers, and three small drawers in the frieze, offering practical and discreet storage space. An integrated sliding shelf completes the functionality of this piece, ideal for use as an additional work surface.

The marquetry decoration, composed of scrolls, flowers, and stringing, is enhanced by a warm patina. The uprights, keyhole escutcheons, drop handles, and feet are adorned with finely chased bronze mounts, attesting to its high-quality craftsmanship.

Resting on four cabriole legs ending in bronze sabots, this display cabinet will find its place naturally in a living room, study, or library, where it will be perfect for showcasing porcelain, objets d'art, or collections.
