About the Item

Napoleon III Ebonised Pier Cabinet, Circa 1850-1870, French A stunning Napoleon III ebonised pier cabinet from the mid-19th century, dating to circa 1850-1870. This elegant French cabinet is a fine example of the Napoleon III style, featuring a sleek ebonised wood finish, intricate brass inlays, and gilt metal mounts. The central electrotyped hunting trophy panel adds a refined touch of nature-inspired decor to the door. Key Features: Material & Finish: Ebonised wood with brass inlays, displaying characteristic wear to the lacquer that enhances its historical appeal. Electrotyped Panel: The door is adorned with a central electrotyped panel of hunting trophies, a distinctive feature of Napoleon III furniture. Brass Inlays & Gilt Mounts: Decorative brass inlays frame the cabinet’s structure, complemented by gilt metal mounts at the corners and top. Interior Shelving: Fitted with three shelves (two later replacements), offering both storage and style. Lock & Key: The cabinet comes with a key to secure the lock, accompanied by a decorative keyring. Dimensions: Width: 77 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 117 cm Condition: In fair condition commensurate with age.
