Majestic Empire-style cabinet in flamed mahogany, adorned with rich ormolu ornaments: female busts as Atlantes, imperial eagle on pediment, laurel wreaths, winged figures holding urns, lion's paw-shaped clogs... So many details evoking imperial pomp and the neo-antique inspiration of the return from Egypt, an artistic movement born in the wake of Napoleon's campaigns.
It opens with three doors, including a central glass door, ideal for displaying decorative objects, crockery or books. The interior, equipped with numerous shelves, offers ample storage capacity.
