    Elegant Empire-style flamed mahogany display case, made in France at the end of the 19th century. Its rich decoration in gilded bronzes is fully in keeping with the Retour d'Égypte aesthetic: antique-style female busts, stylized plant friezes, laurel wreath and imperial eagle topping the cornice.
    This unique piece was transformed by its former owners into a gun cabinet, or closed vertical rack, designed to showcase fine antique weapons. The interior is upholstered in deep red velvet, offering a refined contrast with the warmth of the wood.
    It currently has two display areas:


    A large 123 cm high niche, ideal for rifles or vertical pieces


    34 cm high top shelf


    An additional shelf is available and can be installed as required to reduce the height of the first part and allow more modular use.

    Dimensions :


    Width: 74.5 cm


    Depth: 41.5 cm


    Height: 179 cm


    Interior: 123 cm (bottom) + 34 cm (top)


    Additional shelf available on request





    Details :


    Flamed mahogany with veneer


    Some visible flaws in the veneer (see photo - average condition on lower left)


    Original bronzes: eagle, female busts, Empire friezes


    Warm patina, interior upholstered in red velvet


    Original glass door, good structural condition


    Stable, functional furniture

    Why we love it:
    Because it's as much a piece of furniture as a scenographic object. Strong, narrative, imperial and Egyptian in inspiration, this showcase is a prestigious showcase for any object of art, history or collection.
