A Russian or Baltic Neoclassical Parcel Ebonized and Gilt Bronze Mounted Mahogany Marble-Top Cabinet
A Russian or Baltic Neoclassical Parcel Ebonized and Gilt Bronze Mounted Mahogany Marble-Top Cabinet
19th Century
Height 37 x width 47 x depth 23 1/2 inches.
European Furniture & Decorative Arts
Overall complete and usable condition but needing light repair. The two rear feet are detached (but present) so the cabinet cannot presently stand right-side-up. The back boards are missing and need to be replaced. The tambour doors open and close with some difficulty due to shrinkage, but they work. The doors have age cracks, one of which has been repaired with overpainting. The caryatids have probably been repainted and re-gilded. There are scattered wormholes and minor veneer issues throughout. The marble top free of chips, cracks or repairs, but with some slight discolorations.
Provenance:
Galleria D'Arte, Cav. Ubaldo Giugni, Florence, Italy
