About the Item

A fine example of French craftsmanship from the Napoleon III era, this black lacquer and brass display cabinet, circa 1870, exudes elegance and sophistication. The vitrine features three internal adjustable shelves with brass inlay trim, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail. Each shelf is secured by four pins, allowing for height adjustment. The cabinet's glass front and sides offer a clear view of displayed items, while a front-opening door with a key provides practicality and security. The lacquer is in exceptional condition, highlighting the care taken in its preservation. The brass trim and inlay throughout the cabinet enhance its luxurious quality. Reflecting a minimalist aesthetic influenced by Japanese design, this cabinet features simple, clean lines, distinguishing it from the more ornate furniture of the period. The combination of glossy black lacquer and understated brass accents creates a sophisticated and elegant appearance, embodying the era's blend of opulence and restrained elegance. This exquisite display cabinet is a testament to the design and craftsmanship of the Napoleon III period. H=59.5 in. W=33 in. D=14.5 in. 55 lbs.
