This finely decorated cabinet is French, in the Louis XV style, but made at the end of 19th century.
It is covered in a parquetry of kingwood and satinwood and mounted throughout in ormolu, which retains its original gilding. It has a red and white marble top with a simple moulded edge.
The mirror back and glass shelves gives this elegant piece lightness of touch and beneath the display area there is a cupboard.
