Magnificent and grand, this 19th-century mahogany display cabinet is a true statement piece. The intricate carving showcases the craftsmanship of the era, with a detailed pediment featuring scalloped and foliate rocaille motifs, acanthus leaves, and egg-and-dart moulding. The central cartouche displays a bow-and-arrow motif surrounded by elegant scrollwork.
The cabinet's two glazed doors boast bevelled glass sides, allowing for a clear view of the displayed items. The base is adorned with a gadrooned upper edge and a central rocaille ornament with scrolling acanthus leaves. The panelled frieze continues the theme with additional foliate motifs.
Standing proudly on large carved snarling lion mask supports, embellished with floral garlands and claw feet, the cabinet exudes opulence. The supports are united by a concave rectangular platform base featuring intricate gadrooning and egg-and-dart moulding.
