About this work

Two-door cabinet on a stand. The padoukwood cabinet has an ironwood (?), profiled, cropped cornice and basement. The doors and side stiles have recessed panels with scalloped upper and lower rails, surrounded by ebony profiles and inlaid with profiled panels. On the sides, similar panels where now all profiles are of padoukwood. Behind the doors, two shelves with scalloped fronts. Copper fittings. The non-matching padoukwood stand has scalloped lower rails and S-shaped curved legs carved with a shell motif from which a flower hangs, ending in a volute with a leaf motif above. The stand shows signs of alterations in the center.
