An armoire, bar cabinet or chifferobe is mahogany, with marquetry inlay and cast bronze sculptures of cherubs or angels. This palatial antique was hand-made in northern Italy about 1910, and shows Art Nouveau influence.
The high-relief cast bronze sculptures are remarkable works of art in their own right. Bronze hardware is also original on this authentic antique furniture. Drawers are banded and have hand-cut dovetail joints.
The finish is very fine with rich warm patina. Overall, the effect is glamorous and the condition is very good, close inspection reveals lots of character - mars, shrinkage separations, blisters - which have been retouched over the years - see photos.
Dimensions are 55" wide, 23" deep and 5'10" tall. Last photo shows matching pieces that are offered separately.
