About the Item

A refined example of Second Empire elegance, this exquisite Dutch two-part display cabinet celebrates the revival of marquetry during the reign of Napoleon III. Crafted with meticulous artistry, its delicate inlays depict Greco-Roman amphorae, each adorned with an exotic bird, surrounded by intricate floral and foliate motifs. The fine marquetry work—an age-old technique of assembling contrasting wood veneers to create decorative patterns—enhances the cabinet’s visual depth and sophistication. Designed primarily for presentation, its upper glass-fronted section showcases prized pieces, while its slim 24 cm depth ensures it remains an elegant yet unobtrusive addition to any space. Standing at 175 cm in height and 107 cm in width, this rare piece seamlessly blends function and artistry, bringing timeless charm to any interior.
