A most impressive and very high quality French 19th century Empire st. Satinwood, Mahogany and ormolu armoire/cabinet. The three door armoire is raised by six square tapered feet with fine recessed designs and handsomely fitted ormolu paw shaped sabots. Above the mottled frieze are the three doors each retaining their original beveled mirror plates. The outer doors display elegant arched shaped mirror plates above most decorative recessed panels centered by superb richly chased ormolu mounts of open winged maidens in fine wonderfully executed flowing garments holding a vessel on their heads. The doors are separated by tall tapered columns with fine ormolu feet at the base, tied staff mounts at the center, and detailed caryatids at the top. Each opens to reveal its remarkable finished interior with beautiful paneled finish at the inside of each door, all their original hardware, adjustable shelves, and drawers at the center. Above is the impressive mottled top crown with elegant stars, pierced foliate ormolu mounts, and a striking top palmette and rosette. All original gilt throughout. — Read Less
