AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful liquor cabinet made of shellac-polished ebony with finely crafted Boulle inlay and red tortoiseshell, beautifully engraved.
The top is decorated on all four sides with grapevines and leaves, with a cartouche with initials in the center. The curved front has a large, very finely engraved cartouche.
Lockable with a key, and the insert is fully intact – something you rarely see!
Stands on four small feet and is in good condition for its age, circa 1870, Napoleon III.
The interior is made of rosewood with four decanters and twelve Baccara crystal glasses, beautifully hand-cut.
Four glasses are missing, but the interior remains beautiful.
