19th Century Cedar Collector’s Cabinet of Indian Style

19th century
Description

A cedar collector’s cabinet, English, circa 1850, the glazed upper display section with a hinged top, the cupboard base section with Indian style shaped and pierced panels.

This unusual and rare, if not unique cabinet appears to have made to house prized Indian objects presumably of a textile nature, hence the exclusive use of cedar (well known for its property as a moth repellent) in literally every part of its construction (back boards, feet, mouldings, literally every part). It was clearly design-made by a high level cabinetmaker.

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.
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.
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.

Anglo-Indian collectors cabinets from the 19th century combine traditional Western furniture forms with indigenous Indian decorative motifs and native timbers such as cedar, rosewood, or teak.

These pieces were constructed using local hardwoods like cedar, often featuring brass fittings, glass display tops, and interior velvet or silk linings to protect delicate items.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut joinery, indigenous timber grain, pierced lattice fretwork, and signs of natural age or patination on original metal fittings and glass panels.

Position the cabinet as a focal anchor in a study or living area, using the glass showcase top to display curated object collections, ceramics, or books.

Keep the cabinet in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight, dust glass panels with a microfibre cloth, and nourish the exposed wood with natural beeswax paste.
