Louis XV or XVI Style Display Cabinet. Continental, c. 1900, or earlier. A lovely piece of furniture, as fine as any treasure one would display within the cabinet! The piece barrel-shaped, on four modestly recurved legs, with enrichments of "boule," gilt panels of ornamental metal bordering the glass and painted panels, and highlighting the structural architecture of the work. Base of cabinet with central painted vignette of courting,and scenic vistas at sides. Interior with single glass shelf, velvet-line bottom shelf, and storage space below. On back, impressed number 537, and incised marks X.X.M. Cabinet very well preserved, and well cared for. The painted vignettes remain fresh and vivacious. The mirrored backing a later but still old addition, while the display light is more recent. Comes with key for the locking door. Height: 56-3/4".
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
Ex Dr. Pipito collection.
