About this work

Cabinet, lined with olive wood and ebony on a core of oak and cedar wood. Separate stand with pull-out drawer of cedar wood, the front of which forms the entire front rail of the stand. The twisted legs are connected with a Y-shaped cross and rest on ball feet. The rectangular, flat bookcase is veneered on the doors on the outside and inside, as well as on the top, with a geometric pattern of rosettes. The large gilded hinges are attached under the veneer. The doors can be closed with an iron sliding lock and a turn lock with a lock plate of filigree gold and a gilded key. In the cabinet, one half-deep and two deep shelves are installed.
