exquisite pair of late 19th-century side cabinets.
The stepped and moulded sarcophagus tops of these cabinets are masterfully carved with a bellflower arcade and acanthus leaf motif. This distinctive design exudes the timeless allure of Italian craftsmanship, capturing the essence of the late 19th century.
Each cabinet's frieze boasts a single drawer, intricately carved with a cartouche escutcheon and trailing foliage. The carving adds depth and character to the design, creating a visual narrative that speaks to the artistry of the era.
The bevel-glazed doors open to reveal a carefully lined and mirrored interior. This thoughtful design not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a reflective backdrop for whatever treasures you choose to display within.
Flanking the glazed doors are carved male and female figure pilasters, a signature of Italian craftsmanship. These figures, rendered with meticulous detail, add a touch of classical elegance and sculptural beauty to the cabinets.
Resting on a stepped and moulded plinth featuring delicate fluting, the cabinets stand on lobe carved turned feet. These elements collectively contribute to the overall aesthetic charm and stability of the pieces.
