AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent golden-blond mahogany cabinet
The wood has been expertly polished; this is a time-consuming and costly finish in which shellac is meticulously applied with a pad in circular motions.
Shellac is a natural product.
This creates a stunning deep gloss and the wood resembles 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 began to travel extensively as tourists through Italy to admire the art and architecture.
The Grand Tour.
The lower cabinet features three large drawers that slide easily.
The form is ‘single curved’, with the top straight and bending outward toward the bottom.
The interior is beautiful and extensive.
Also very practical with many storage options.
Multiple shelves and five small drawers, all veneered in red mahogany.
Elegant tapered legs.
The upper cabinet can be taken apart so the furniture can be transported easily.
The height to the crown is 212 cm, and including the central ornament it measures 234 cm.
