London City Antiques has dated this Edwardian Mahogany Bijouterie Cabinet to the 1900s.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
The rich colour of the mahogany and understated decorative detailing are characteristic of the elegant cabinetmaking associated with the Edwardian period.
The hinged glass top opens to reveal a velvet-lined display compartment, with glazed sides allowing treasured objects to be admired from several angles. The golden-toned velvet provides an attractive background for displaying jewellery, watches, miniature antiques, silver, porcelain or other small collectables.
The cabinet is raised on four elegant, slender tapering legs, united by shaped stretchers and a small rectangular undertier. The restrained design, fine inlay and graceful proportions give the piece a wonderfully light and sophisticated appearance.
Bijouterie cabinets became fashionable during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Originally designed to display jewellery, miniature works of art and treasured collectables, these elegant glazed cabinets were popular in fashionable drawing rooms, allowing precious objects to be admired while protected from dust.
Today, this versatile cabinet would make a charming addition to a drawing room, sitting room, bedroom, dressing room or hallway, providing an elegant way to showcase a treasured collection.
