Edwardian Mahogany Display Cabinet with Marquetry and Burnt Umber Velvet Lining
About the Item
An exquisite example of early 20th-century English craftsmanship, this Edwardian display cabinet—dating to circa 1908—is fashioned from warmly toned mahogany and adorned with finely executed marquetry work that delicately frames its elegant form. The cabinet is fronted by two tall glazed doors featuring gracefully arched astragal glazing bars, a distinctive Edwardian motif echoing neoclassical reverence for symmetry and refinement.
Internally, the cabinet is lined in its original burnt umber velvet—aged to a stunning variegated patina that contrasts beautifully with the rich wood tones. Three display tiers offer generous space for the presentation of fine porcelain, silver, or treasured collectibles, all elevated behind subtly bowed glass panes that lend the cabinet both poise and depth.
Beneath the glass display, two drawers with finely inlaid crossbanding and original brass swan-neck handles offer additional storage, set within a frame of elegant tapering legs ending in spade feet. The softly arched apron further enhances the cabinet’s genteel profile.
Crafted during the Edwardian era—a period marked by its embrace of lighter forms, high-quality joinery, and revivalist elegance—this piece would have been a treasured item in a genteel English drawing room or study. The use of decorative glazing and high-contrast upholstery is characteristic of the early 20th-century transition from the heavier Victorian aesthetic to a more refined decorative sensibility. The fine marquetry and restrained embellishment place this cabinet firmly within the tradition of superior English cabinetmaking.
