Angular display cabinet in a transitional Louis XV–Louis XVI style, circa 1900, made of wood and glass, 165 cm high, 80 cm wide, 45 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age and wear.
Description from the seller
This is an elegant angular display cabinet in transition style Luigi XV-Luigi XVI, dating to the late 19th / early 20th century. The piece stands out for a refined sinuously shaped structure characterized by a moving and slender silhouette, enriched by curved glass panels on the sides and on the central door that highlight the interior lined in red burgundy velvet with crystal shelves. The base is entirely decorated with a precious marquetry work with pistr?? Wait fix: not pistr. It should be 'spina di pesce' -> 'chevron' veneer and geometric motifs inlaid on the lower frieze. Completing the work are rich ornamental applications in gilded bronze alloy, chiselled, in the perimetral frames of the glass and in the cabriole legs.
Size: 165x80x45 cm
Good general condition, light signs and material defects due to normal aging. Light scratches and small losses. Defects visible in the photographs, to be examined carefully.
**Given the size and fragility of the display cabinet, local pickup is preferable; we are about 1 hour from Milan. We remain available to provide a dedicated shipping quote. Please inspect the photos carefully as they are an integral part of the description. Tracked shipping including secure packaging, any duties and customs taxes will be charged to the buyer.**
