Below, a panelled cupboard door provides enclosed storage, framed with elegant brass banding and decorative rosettes.
Raised on slender, tapering legs adorned with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts and sabots, this vitrine exemplifies the precision, balance, and decorative richness that define Paul Sormani’s work.
