Today we are delighted to offer for sale a very rare and stunning antique French Louis XV miniature display cabinet!
This lovely piece dates to the late 19th/early 20th century and appears to be a salesman sample for a full-scale curio display cabinet. The piece is finely crafted and detailed and done in the ornate Louis XV Rococo style. It features a wood frame with bombe-shaped front and curved top, elegantly veneered with faux tortoise shell inlay. The small cabinet is lavishly mounted with gilt ormolu mounts, with dramatic rocaille feet and shell decorations, and rocaille ormolu frames on the glass panels. The interior is nicely lined with old French cream silk brocade with peach and pink flowers and features two bespoke glass shelves to display prized collectibles, jewelry, or keepsakes. This piece is truly sweet and will make a one-of-a-kind addition to any interior!
Case presents well and is in good antique condition, with minor display wear and patina commensurate with age and use. The ormolu mounts have tarnish, minor scuffing, and some are missing mounting nails. The veneer has scattered scuffing, minor losses, and fractures/cracks. The glass door and side panels have minor scuffing but no chips and cracks. The glass shelves have minor wear and edge roughness/fleabites. The lining fabric has soiling/staining, discoloration, and fraying. No lock or key. Please review all photos before purchasing.
