Regency period mahogany cabinet

A superb Regency period mahogany collector's cabinet; the original figured marble top above a pair of panelled doors which are veneered in the best figured Cuban mahogany and open to reveal a fully fitted interior of 24 drawers which are book match veneered in figured mahogany and retain their original ormolu ring pull handles; the doors are flanked by acanthu scarved pilasters crisply carved with acanthus and the cabinet is raised on bold scrolling feet again carved with acanthus.

This Regency collector's cabinet is of the finest quality and clearly housed a remarkable collection, possibly of gems or specimen marbles. The cabinet-maker has chosen the very best mahogany veneers and the carved decoration is beautifully executed.
