An English Porcelain Mounted Walnut Cabinet in the Louis XV Manner

19th century
Description

Currently in unrestored original condition, please contact us for further information.

An English Porcelain Mounted Walnut Cabinet

In the Louis XV Manner

Employing fine Circassian burr walnut, decorated with blue ground 'Sèvres' porcelain panels and gilt bronze mounts, supported on cabriole sabot-shod legs headed by espagnolettes, the single-door cabinet set with an oval porcelain panel of a 'fête galante' and a further four corner porcelain panels, the interior with a single shelf, the veneered top with an ormolu lambrequin surround and three-quarter pierced gallery.

English, circa 1850

Produced by several cabinetmakers, a variation of this design was shown at the 1851 Great Exhibition and a related example was likely purchased in 1846 by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria. Unlike those examples, the present cabinet employs walnut, a very English timber.

Comparative literature:

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying harsh chemical solvents to the porcelain or metalwork, and maintain a stable ambient humidity level to prevent veneer lifting.

Position the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop, balancing its rich timber tone and gilded embellishments with simple contemporary artwork or minimalist lighting.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chased metalwork with subtle casting imperfections, finely detailed hand-painted ceramic plaques rather than modern printed transfers, and traditional joinery techniques inside the carcase.

These cabinets predominantly feature high-grade walnut or burr walnut veneers applied over a solid timber core, accented with cast and chased gilt-bronze mounts, pierced brass galleries, and polychrome enamel porcelain plaques.

Originating in 19th-century European furniture design, this style combines fluid Rococo silhouettessuch as slender cabriole legswith elaborate gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and inset hand-painted porcelain plaques inspired by 18th-century French court tastes.
