This small, two-part, Rocaille-style walnut display cabinet from Liège is a rare piece dating from the late 19th century. It embodies the refinement of Belgian furniture of this period.
The molded, gendarme hat-shaped cornice is topped by a spectacular pediment adorned with a large sculpted shell surrounded by elegant scrolls. This architectural detail gives this display cabinet a majestic appearance. The cabinet is fully glazed on its sides, allowing its contents to be optimally showcased. It opens with two glass doors at the top and one door at the bottom, both equipped with functional locks and keys. Carvings abound throughout, with finely crafted foliage and scrollwork motifs. The canted corners, also glazed, add a lightness to the structure. The "snail" feet harmoniously complete the ensemble. The interior is fully upholstered in raspberry velvet, adding a touch of warmth and refinement. The shelves, with their intricate cutouts, are also in keeping with the spirit of Liège furniture. This display case is ideal for displaying art objects, antique tableware, or precious collections. It combines aesthetics, functionality, and history, and will enhance any interior.
