About the Item

A SCARCE PAIR OF ANGLO-INDIAN TEAK VITRINE CABINETS Probably British Colonial, circa mid-19th century 35 1/4" H x 18" D x 35 1/2" W Essay: Often called a bijouterie or display table, this rare pair of Anglo-Indian teak vitrine cabinets would have been made for the display of medals, coins, jewelry or other valuables during the second quarter of the 19th century. In the distinctly British taste, they are made out of solid teak-wood with pinned tenon-mortised joinery throughout, probably made in the British Colonies for export to the London market. The tops open easily on a hinged back and are held in position with a small bar on the inside. Glass from all sides makes for a very attractive display and their small size make them particularly convenient. There are machined brass threaded posts on the four corners of the tops that would have had something attached to them at one point (function unknown). Both retain a brilliant deeply oxidized patina of a very dark mahogany tone over ruby-red hues in the rubbed teak. Condition: Early surface with remnants of original surface throughout, deeply oxidized and "ruddy", worn through to reveal reddish undertones throughout. Numerous areas of cracking, wear and losses/chipping. Several areas of replaced moldings, including on one cabinet the lowest molding along the side and back with a nearly matched rosewood. Glass has had newer putty applied in the 20th century, some panels replaced. The machined brass elements have no attaching components. Holes to right of lock where something was attached at one point. No key, locks untested. Some old metal plates installed at joints in a few places. ref. 503DWS06S About silla antiques & art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
