This elegant cabinet is crafted in the Louis XVI Revival style, featuring richly figured mahogany veneers, fine marquetry, decorative brass mounts and an attractive marble top. Based on its construction and materials, it is believed to date from the late 19th or early 20th century, although purchasers should satisfy themselves as to age and origin.
Constructed in richly figured mahogany veneers with contrasting satinwood banding and a central marquetry urn motif, the cabinet is finished with decorative gilt-brass mounts and topped with its original rouge marble slab. A single drawer sits above a cupboard with generous internal storage and a marble-lined base.
Its compact proportions make it an exceptionally versatile piece, equally suited as a bedside cabinet, hallway cabinet, living room accent piece or decorative side cabinet.
The cabinet retains an attractive aged patina and remains structurally sound. There is evidence of historic moisture damage to the interior side panels, now dry and stable, which is concealed when the cupboard door is closed and does not detract from its appearance or everyday use.
A fine decorative antique offering timeless French elegance.
