About this work

Display cabinet of oak and coromandel wood, consisting of a rectangular lower case with a display case above it featuring a flap that folds backward. The lower case has a wide apron with two doors and two drawers above it. The doors, like the side panels, contain coromandel wood panels with carved vines at the top. The fronts of the drawers are made of coromandel wood. The remaining parts are of oak. The ends of the dovetails are visible on the front of the drawer in three vertically arranged squares. Both the doors and the drawers have knobs inlaid with oak hearts. The upper case consists of a display case with a flap folding backward across the entire width. Both the flap and the side panels are made of glass set in a frame. The flap is attached to the back wall at the top with three hinges. The side stiles of the display case contain carved vines and end at the top in volutes. The interior of the display case is lined with yellow fabric.
