This Louis XVI four door mahogany cabinet is adorned with bronze d'ore swags and mounts throughout; on the doors are floriate swags with a bow ribbon motif at center. Between the top large doors, and the lower doors is a grouping of intertwining leaf scrolls. The bottom doors are simply decorated in the classic Louis XVI manner, with short feet crowned with bronze d’ore capitals and bottoms. Additional details are seen in the bronze d'ore escutcheons as well as the gold leafed bronze in the fluting at bottom and the mounts at top left and right. The French antique piece dates back to the 19th century and beautifully reflects the Louis XVI period with style.
