Description from the seller
Beautiful 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 results in a beautiful deep gloss, and the wood looks like a polished mineral.
It is a classicist style, derived from classical Roman antiquity.
During this period, Roman antiquity was rediscovered, and wealthy people began traveling extensively as tourists through Italy to admire its art and architecture. The Grand Tour.
The lower cabinet has three large drawers that slide easily.
The shape is ‘single curved’, with a straight top and a curved flare toward the bottom.
The interior is beautiful and expansive. Also very practical, with ample 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 piece is easy to transport.
The height to the cornice is 212 cm, and including the central ornament it measures 234 cm.
