This is a Swedish Rococo corner cabinet. It has been restored and repainted with milk paints "Oyster White". It’s a 2-piece cabinet.

These 19th century Italian, painted and gilded corner cabinets come in two pieces. The bonnets have openings at the center called broken pediments. The cabinets have beautifully scalloped frames surrounding the blown glass panels on the front and sides. The three separate blown glass panes on the front doors are divided by small, gilded, asymmetrical linear moldings having floral and foliate motifs at the center.

The entire interior of the upper sections has been lined in red velvet with gimp to the front of the shelves. The serpentine shaped, single door, lower cabinets with angled sides are beneath a curved, stepped out section.
