Mahogany display cabinet, Louis XVI style – Early 20th century

This three-sided display cabinet in mahogany and mahogany veneer, in the Louis XVI style, presents itself as a refined piece whose slender silhouette highlights a finely crafted cabinetmaking. It is accentuated by gilded brass ornaments that enhance every line of the furniture, while the uprights are animated by fluted pilasters resting on turned feet, giving it a look that is both stable and delicate. The top is crowned with a richly veined red marble, surrounded by an openwork brass gallery that adds an extra touch of preciousness. The carefully arranged interior features two glass shelves that allow light to circulate and showcase the displayed objects, while the lower shelf is covered with pastel green silk, adding a soft and elegant note to the whole, creating a subtle harmony between the warmth of the mahogany, the shine of the brass, and the delicacy of the textile materials. This display cabinet perfectly embodies the timeless elegance of the Louis XVI style and offers a highly distinguished showcase to enhance any collection. Period: Early 20th century. In good condition after restoration in our cabinetmaking workshop. Waxed finish. 631V.
