DESCRIPTION

This is a pretty Dutch wall-hanging glazed display cabinet dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. The whole finely decorated with inlaid floral marquetry motifs typical of the craftmanship of the period, a single door opening to reveal a velvet-lined interior with two fixed, shaped shelves. The broken-arch pediment, detail of the marquetry, and elegant astragal glazing all reflect the refined tastes of late 18th-century Dutch interiors. An elegant survivor, this cabinet would have originally served as a display for porcelain or precious objects. A wonderful addition to any period home or decorative collection.

DIMENSIONS

73cm high x 68cm wide x 21cm deep

CONDITION

There are marks, knocks and repairs commensurate with age and use. There are several minor losses to the inlay and it has probably sustained a knock to the pediment/ cornice above the door at some point as the splits and losses are focussed around this area. One or more panes of glass are replacements but it appears to be period glass. There is no working key but the door stows securely with friction when hanging vertically, and we can provide a decorative key to act as a door pull. The piece is structurally sound and attractive.

ABOUT ALSO

Thank you for viewing this piece from Also Antique Furniture.

We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected.

Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
