Liège two-part display case in walnut, Rocaille style, Belgium – Late 19th century

This small, two-part, Rocaille-style walnut display cabinet from Liège is a rare piece dating from the late 19th century. It embodies all the refinement of Belgian furniture from this period. The molded cornice, shaped like a gendarme's hat, is topped by a spectacular pediment, adorned with a large sculpted shell surrounded by elegant volutes. This architectural detail gives this display cabinet a majestic appearance. The cabinet is fully glazed on its sides, allowing its contents to be optimally showcased. It opens with two glass doors at the top and one door at the bottom, all equipped with functional locks and keys. Carvings abound throughout the cabinet, with finely crafted foliage and scrollwork motifs. The canted corners, also glazed, add lightness to the structure. The "snail" feet harmoniously complete the ensemble. The interior is fully upholstered in raspberry velvet, adding a touch of warmth and refinement. The shelves, with their lively cutouts, are also in keeping with the spirit of Liège furniture. This display case is ideal for displaying art objects, antique tableware or precious collections. It combines aesthetics, functionality and history, and will enhance any interior. ******** Period: Late 19th century Excellent condition after restoration in our workshop. Waxed finish.
