Golden-blond mahogany cabinet in the Neoclassical antique style, circa 1800, of Dutch origin, with a lockable lower section and a separable upper section.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful golden-blond mahogany cabinet. The wood has been expertly polished; this is a time-consuming and costly treatment in which shellac is meticulously applied using a pad in circular motions. Shellac is a natural product. This creates a beautiful deep gloss, and the wood looks like a polished mineral.
It is a classicist style, drawn from classical Roman antiquity. In this era, Roman antiquity was rediscovered and well-to-do people went on extensive tours as tourists through Italy to admire the art and architecture. The Grand Tour.
The lower cabinet has three large drawers that slide easily. The shape is 'single curved', with the top straight and curving outward toward the bottom. The interior is beautiful and expansive, also very practical with lots of storage space. Multiple shelves and five small drawers, all veneered in red mahogany. Elegant tapered legs.
The upper cabinet can be taken apart so the piece can be transported easily. The height to the cornice is 212 cm, and including the central ornament it measures 234 cm.
