19th Century Louis XV Style Vernis Martin Bombe Vitrine with Serpentine Glass

About the Item

A classic Louis XV style vernis Martin display vitrine with serpentine glass door. Luxurious rococo revival elements are in full force here, curving wood veneer and glass surfaces offset by vine-like ribbons of ormolu bronze detailing, with lush green velvet interior set atop cabriole legs tipped with decorative sabots. At center is a hand-painted “fêtes galantes” scene of a gentleman courting his lady, signed "Dumas", on varnished panel in the vernis Martin style. On either side are accompanying landscape scenes. The vitrine is solid and stands sturdily, and comes with a key for its working lock.
