"17th-century Cabinet"
This refined 17th-century cabinet is typical of Baroque furniture designed to store precious items, coins, or documents. Made of Ebony, red tortoiseshell, and bronze, the piece features numerous drawers, a central door with a carved niche, and decorative elements in finely worked brass.
The central section, often reserved for a statuette or religious symbol, is framed by twisted columns and prominent moldings. The openwork gallery at the top adds a touch of architectural elegance.
This type of furniture was often used by aristocrats and scholars to display curiosities or cabinet objects.
