"Gabriel Viardot, Japanese Inspiration Presentation Showcase Art Nouveau Furniture"
Inspired by Japanese design, this carved mahogany display cabinet consists of a showcase, shelves, and is embellished with carved wooden valances that open with two doors, one of which is glass and the other adorned with marquetry and tin depicting a basket with a trellis and a bird, enlivened by two bronze dragons, resting on a polypod base with winding motifs.
