About the Item
A spectacular and extremely high quality French 19th century Napoleon III period ebony, ormolu, brass, tortoiseshell, and blue stone two door cabinet. The cabinet is raised by striking and most unique foliate ormolu feet below fine block rosettes which flank the scalloped shaped frieze. The frieze displays an elegant inlaid brass fillet and is centered by a charming and finely detailed pierced ormolu mount of two lovely cherubs playing. At the center are two beautiful doors richly decorated with a stunning array of masterfully inlaid brass fillets with luxuriant scrolled foliate designs all framed within an ormolu band. The doors open to reveal one shelf and all original hardware. To each side are powerful ormolu acanthus leaf mounts and additional brass inlaid designs leading up to richly chased corner mounts of finely detailed maidens in a warm satin and burnished finish. Above is a beautiful band centered by a handsome ormolu mask amidst lovely foliate inlays. At each side is an outstanding central ormolu mount of a cherub draped in a flowing garment with his hand on a globe while holding a scroll in his other hand set on an ebony background and framed within a beaded border. Above is the original blue stone top fitted within a foliate ormolu band. All original gilt throughout.

- French 19th Century Napoleon III Period CabinetLocated in Warsaw, PLA magnificent rectangular black 2-door cabinet in Napoleon III style. Large and small details are gilt, bringing antique and luxurious looks. Brass medallions are centrally mounted on each door and also adorn the upper facade of the cabinet. The inside of the cabinet is divided into three horizontal shelves. At the bottom of the cabinet, there is a figure of a woman's mask, decorated with floral motifs, notably acanthus leaves and it is completed on the side with a rich ornamentation of gilded bronzes caryatides. The borders running along the cabinet are all gilt and engraved with beautiful patterns.

Zeus found the story quite amusing, so he did not punish Hermes, but only required him to return the flock. Hermes regretted what he had done and offered Apollo his lyre as a gift. The lyre was a musical instrument that Hermes had created all by himself from the shell of a turtle. To repay Hermes for his kindness, Apollo returned the gesture by giving Hermes a golden staff...Category
