This late 19th-century cabinet in the transition style of Louis XV boasts rosewood marquetry on an oak frame. It has a symmetrical design with 14 drawers on both the left and right sides of the central body. In the central section, you’ll find a spacious drawer at the top, followed by two curtains that unveil a secretary with shelves and two more small drawers. There is also a convenient pull-out writing surface covered in gilt leather. The upper section of the cabinet is elegantly adorned with finely crafted gilded bronze details, including a frieze with interlaced ovular motifs. Intricately designed bronze drops with garlands and acanthus leaves embellish the four front pillars, while the lamp bronze displays decorations of a covered vase, garlands, and more acanthus leaves. The four feet are completely covered in bronze, providing both support and ornamental flair. This piece has a slight frontal projection and is crowned with a beautiful Sarrancolin marble top. Please note that the leather covering on the writing surface is stained and should be replaced; we can facilitate this and offer a wide selection of colours. Crafted in late 19th-century Paris, this cabinet is a splendid addition for enhancing the décor of an entryway, living room, or office.
