Description from the seller
A refined and rare miniature reproduction of a large bookcase/display cabinet in full Empire style. This splendid collectible and display cabinet stands out for its very high artisanal quality and choice of materials, faithfully replicating every tiny detail of the great cabinetmaking works of the Napoleonic era. The entire structure is made entirely of solid mahogany wood, characterized by a warm reddish tone and a deep, precious grain. Fidelity to the Empire Style: The cabinet is adorned with solid, slender columns on the side uprights, finished at the ends with decorative capitals and bases with a gold finish, elements typical of nineteenth-century neoclassicism.
• Internal and external architecture:
Equipped with two front hinged doors with clear glass inserts, enclosing an interior space symmetrically divided by a central partition and solid solid-wood shelves.
• Frame and moldings: The upper crown features a protruding and linear cornice, giving the cabinet a monumental appearance despite its small size. It is equipped with rear hooks, ready to be hung on the wall as a display board.
• Ideal proportions: The photo with a bottle placed beside it highlights the perfect proportions, making it an ideal piece for miniature collectors or as a refined table/wall display case for small precious objects, clocks or jewelry.
Dimensions:
• Height: 53 cm
• Width: 40 cm
• Depth: 12 cm
Condition:
The object is in excellent overall condition, solid and well preserved. It features a beautiful natural patina and minimal, imperceptible signs of aging that enhance its charm and vintage authenticity (all close-up details are visible in the numerous attached photos).
A miniature piece of cabinetmaking with a strong visual and aesthetic impact, perfect for embellishing elegant environments or themed collections.
The lot will be professionally packed with anti-shock materials to ensure a safe and fully trackable shipment.
