Description
Louis XV Mahogany Marquetry Bombé Vitrine Cabinet
This elegant vitrine cabinet is a fine example of Louis XV case furniture, distinguished by its gently
serpentine, bombé silhouette and fine floral marquetry inlay. The shaped crest and apron are decorated with
delicate inlaid sprays of flowering branches in golden satinwood against the rich mahogany ground,
continuing the marquetry theme down the curved stiles and lower apron.
The glazed double doors are trimmed in fine gilt bronze beading, opening to reveal three adjustable glass
shelves ideal for displaying a fine china, porcelain, or curio collection. The cabinet is raised on gracefully
curved cabriole legs terminating in gilt bronze sabots, a hallmark finishing detail of quality French Rococo
revival furniture.
With its refined marquetry, bombé form, and gilt bronze accents, this vitrine would make an elegant display
cabinet for a formal living room, dining room, or parlor, equally suited to showcasing porcelain, glass, or
decorative collectibles.
