Crafted from fine French walnut, it features a neoclassical form and architecture inspired by ancient Greek and Roman designs, but with rounded sides so as to present no corners into the living space. Those rounded sides are fitted with curved beveled glass allowing one to display finery on each side of the piece with aplomb, both sides having two surfaces and one shelf. More open display is available on the full width shelf below, contoured to follow the curvature of the casework. Each door is also fitted with an unusually detailed cast bronze key guard. The side cabinets provide a framework for the main center section which, instead of cabinets, features three spacious drawers, each fitted with finely detailed cast bronze bale pulls and key guard shields. The drawers are framed by tailored pilasters that transition into subtly tapered legs that continue down past the lower shelf to be tipped in brass feet. To top it off, beautifully contoured and beveled marble, of course, for carefree entertaining and even more display surface!
