About the Item

Napoleon III solid oak cabinet with ebony veneer and carved black marble top. The facade is framed with gilt bronze mounts of caryatids, and two doors are decorated with silver medallions, that depict cherubs playing in the garden. The interior is clad in varnished mahogany. A handwritten label on the back states: "1872 / M. Cottin". Maison Monbro was founded by Georges-Marie Monbro (1774-1841), a Maltese native who spent some time in England before returning to France in 1801. His son Georges-Alphonse-Bonifacio Monbro (1807-1884), who signed his work Monbro or Monbro Ainé, created the majority of the works.
