Carved walnut, iron

64 3/8" high x 38" wide x 16 5/8" deep (163.5 x 96.5 x 42.2 cm)

A handsomely carved cupboard in the Gothic Revival taste, crafted in France during the last quarter of the 19th century, the cabinet is noteworthy for it’s very fine walnut boards and wonderful surface patina. The finish glows beautifully against the crisp lifelike carvings across the facade. It features a pair of cupboard doors that open to reveal a large space, ideal as a liquor cabinet or small bibliotheque. A pair of drawers are hosted in the carvings beneath these doors, both crisply hand dovetailed with oak secondary woods. This upper section projects over a hollow lower section, probably intended for the display of a large sculpture or other collectible which would be framed against the simple architecture of the paneled backing. The entire cupboard is crafted in a single piece with relatively slight dimensions, projecting with a depth of just under 17”.

Condition: Excellent original condition with minor surface dings/abrasions as expected and surface discolorations (circular marks on base). Retains all original hardware and untouched structure.
