Cabinet
Exotic wood and mother-of-pearl, gilt bronze
19th
Circa 1880
Beautiful cabinet in exotic wood and mother-of-pearl marquetry.
The upper part opens onto different levels, shelves, two drawers and a glass door decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays and gold and silver lacquer with floral and bird motifs, a gilt bronze dragon nestled in a niche at its top. Generally called a temple, the lower part opens with two doors and its sides are engraved with foliage motifs.
Some restorations to be expected: to be revived and a nibbled foot.
