Vitrine Writing Case In Solid Mahogany, Napoleon III Period - 1850

Elegant Vitrine Writing Case in solid Mahogany and Burl Mahogany veneer from the Napoleon III period. This furniture has a window in the upper part, resting from the front on two curved consoles sculpted with flowers, foliage and acanthus leaves. The bottom at the back also supports this structure, framed on each side by a gradient solid mahogany element that ends in a volute. This showcase has two doors, with an ovelong glass in their center. This is embellished with a solid mahogany molding around its perimeter, and carved decorations: a shell in the lower part, and a composition of flowers and leaves with ribbon in the upper part. These leaves, equipped with an original top and bottom lock and its key, open onto a particularly neat interior in speckled maple, lined with a mahogany field shelf. The showcase is crowned with an element in the shape of a policeman's hat also decorated with a shell motif with foliage and ribbon, and equipped with a small cornice. The lower part consists of a table whose top is composed of a development of four parts of symmetrical mahogany burls. This opens with a writing drawer lined with leather with sliding storage, the bottom of which is in speckled maple. The set rests on four beautifully curved legs, molded on each side, which end in a volute, on which we find a carved pattern of shell and acanthus leaf. This Vitrine Writing Case with pleasant curves will find its place in a refined interior, you will appreciate the remarkable cabinet work of this piece of furniture dating from the Second Empire.
