About the Item
Antique archive or collection cabinet
England
Mahogany
Mid 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 121 x 64 x 57 cm
Description:
Rare antique collection cabinet veneered in Cuba mahogany with a very beautiful grain pattern on the front.
The small one-door cabinet stands on a flat skirting board, the door is divided by a frame with a double round arch finial. The recessed brass key guide blends harmoniously into the overall design.
Inside the cabinet there are 14 slide-in display cabinets, some of different sizes, all extremely finely crafted and with framed glass covers to protect against dust. The wonderful old panes are slightly wavy and most of them probably date from the time the cabinet was made.
Originally, the cabinet may have been used to store and organise domestic collections. It may have been used to store manuscripts, collections of folios or postcards, but minerals, exotic plants or entomological specimens were also popular collecting areas at the time.
With its height of 121 cm, the cabinet is perfect for placing the removed display case on top of the piece of furniture and viewing or sorting the objects on display.
Condition:
Refurbished condition with a shellac hand polish. The lock was probably replaced in an older restoration.

Mahogany
Early 19th century
Dimensions: H x W x D: 97 x 136 x 68 cm
Description:
The architecturally designed front of the chest of drawers is divided into three zones.
A plinth connected to the floor forms the lower section, on which two sturdy columns rest, supporting the upper section, which houses a large drawer. Three further drawers are housed in the centre section of the chest of drawers, which recedes behind the columns.
A black granite top forms the upper end.
The drawers, the back panel and the body are made of oak, except for the panels in the side walls.
The top section with the ledge drawer is connected to the body with wooden wedges and can be removed for transport. This detail can be clearly seen in one of the photos.
Exquisitely beautiful mahogany veneer, horizontally mirrored on the drawers at the height of the key entrances, enlivens the smooth surfaces on which the lavishly gilded bronzes unfold their effect.
Some of the very finely crafted fittings can also be found on Empire furniture by Jacob...
