Description:

Unusual French Baroque cabinet from around 1760. The cabinet has two doors at the front with very large original door fittings and door hinges that are as long as the doors are high. In the lower part there are three drawers with thread inlays. In the base there are inlays depicting a flower basket with climbing flowers. The door panels, cornices, and base area are ornate and curved, as was customary in the mid-18th century. The cabinet is made of cherry wood and the inlays are of various woods. Inside, there are two shelves which, like the entire interior, are expertly covered with fabric. See less
