About the Item

Step into the elegance of 19th-century France with this magnificent antique liquor cabinet, likely crafted from fine walnut wood. Known for its rich tone and beautiful grain, the walnut enhances the cabinet’s timeless appeal and highlights its superior craftsmanship. The cabinet’s beveled glass panels allow a clear view of the interior, which features four engraved crystal decanters and a unique set of sixteen glasses. Twelve of the glasses share a matching design, while four display a distinct but harmonious pattern, adding individuality to the ensemble. The crystal is securely displayed in a polished brass stand, creating a luxurious presentation. This piece carries its history with pride: one decanter has been professionally restored, and another bears a minor chip on the rim, adding character without compromising its beauty or functionality. The walnut’s warm patina, combined with the beveled glass and detailed brasswork, exemplifies the artistry of 19th-century French furniture. Whether used for entertaining or as a decorative statement, this cabinet is a rare and elegant addition to any space. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exceptional piece of French heritage, blending beauty, utility, and a unique story.
