Liquor cabinet - Amboine-Cristal Loupe - liquor cabinet

Superb French liquor cabinet from the Napoleonic II period, second half of the 19th century. A particularly decorative trunk veneered with Amboyna burl, with magnificent highly figured grain in brown-red, mahogany and orange tones. The lid and front are adorned with a burl veneer in very rich, swirling motifs, typical of the fine woods used in cabinetmaking and luxury objects of the Second Empire. The casket opens to an interior arranged to receive glassware, with wooden supports on each side and a central compartment for the carafes. Composition of the set The four carafes are mismatched, while the sixteen glasses have a uniform pattern. The set is in generally good condition for its age, with the signs of use and marks expected on a 19th-century object. To note: - some small chips and surface wear on certain wooden elements of the interior supports; - signs of wear and small marks on the case and its finish; - the carafes are mismatched; - the key for the lock is not present; - a small crack on the top but very discreet (see photos); - an area for a cigars of the period or others today. The whole is sold as presented in the photographs, which allow a precise appreciation of its condition and composition. Careful packaging, fast shipping. Insurance included.
