Dating from around 1850, this exceptional cabinet is decorated with exquisite floral marquetry to the frieze, centre door and outer uprights, complemented by finely cast gilded brass mounts that enhance its elegant proportions.
The shaped top sits above a central cupboard flanked by two bow front cupboards, each opening to reveal the original rich crimson fabric-lined interior with shelving, providing excellent practical storage. The combination of vibrant burr walnut veneers, intricate marquetry and quality ormolu mounts makes this a particularly striking example of Victorian cabinet making.
This is a piece of outstanding quality with superb colour, beautifully figured timbers and excellent craftsmanship throughout. Equally at home in a traditional or contemporary interior, it would make an impressive statement as a sideboard, drinks cabinet or hall cabinet.
