About the Item

This rare American Victorian étagère, crafted in the 1860s, is a magnificent example of 19th-century design and craftsmanship, attributed to the renowned New York cabinetmaker Alexander Roux. Constructed from finely carved rosewood, this exceptional piece showcases the opulent style of the High Victorian Rococo Revival era, with elaborate detail and remarkable artistry. The étagère features mirrored back panels that enhance light and depth, flanked by ornately carved supports with intricate scrollwork and pierced fretwork cresting. Two upper display tiers are perfect for showcasing decorative objects, while the lower section includes finely detailed cabinet doors with bold floral and foliate carvings, providing both storage and aesthetic appeal. The richly grained rosewood and deeply carved embellishments highlight Roux’s reputation for producing some of the finest furniture of the Victorian period. Standing on elegant carved paw feet and twisted column supports, this piece embodies both strength and sophistication. Collectors and designers alike will appreciate its rarity, historic significance, and decorative grandeur. A true statement of American Victorian luxury, this étagère is not only a functional display piece but also a museum-quality example of 19th-century American craftsmanship.
