Empire-style display cabinet in mahogany and gilt bronze, black marble top – 19th century

Elegant Empire-style display cabinet in flame mahogany, opening via a glazed door to the front and fitted with glazed panels to the sides.

It is adorned with two detached columns at the front, crowned with chiselled gilt bronze capitals and resting on bases likewise mounted with bronzes.

The straight cornice is surmounted by a black veined marble top.

The upper frieze features gilt bronze ornamentation depicting a winged motif in the antique taste, typical of the Empire decorative repertoire.

The interior, entirely in mahogany, is fitted with three shelves providing an excellent display space for objets d'art, porcelain or collections.

By virtue of its harmonious proportions and the quality of its materials, this cabinet is a refined decorative piece, equally well suited to a classical interior as to a more contemporary setting.
