Armoire, Bar Cabinet or Chifferobe, Bronze Cherubs
SOLD
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.
