A fine Georgian glazed display cabinet on stand

Price: £1150.00

Description: In the 35 years I have been trading, I cannot recollect coming across such a beautiful glazed Georgian corner cabinet. Evidently, I am not the only one to think so highly of this piece, because, within the last 60 years, someone commissioned its elegant and sympathetic stand to be made. Together, they make a wonderful interior statement and a perfect vehicle to display a treasured collection. The glazed cabinet has been skilfully lined with ivory coloured moiré silk and edged with a complimentary braid. Its decorative fretted and inlaid swan's neck pediment is original, as are the fine glazing bars which are perfectly positioned to display the items inside. The internal bolts, hinges and locks are all in excellent order, and as you can see from the images, it has is a key with a decorative tassel. As to its overall condition, there are two or three very minor pinpoint sized marks to the internal silk. and as you would expect after two hundred years, there are minor indications of previous restoration to its finely constructed swans neck. The backboards and mahogany faced softwood shelving appear to be original, however, the pigment that would have been applied to the interior to visually blend the softwood to the mahogany has been removed, leaving the underside of the shelves light in colour. This was almost certainly done so as not to conflict with the colour of the silk. The cabinet and stand come in two separate pieces, which will be very helpful for its delivery and positioning. Measurements - 210 cm high x 87 cm wide x 50 cm deep (height of stand - 85 .5 cm).
