Description

This charming cabinet presents a great unity of ornamentation with its decoration of bird feathers.

It consists of two superimposed bodies each opening with two leaves.

Lower body

The uprights and upper crosspieces are carved with long quills. The leaves are divided into two rectangles molded and framed with feathers of birds. Small rosettes adorn the corners.

A wide belt accommodates two molded drawers.

Upper body

The upper body is slightly narrower than the previous one. It uses the same ornamentation and the same organization. A slightly overhanging cornice crowns the piece of furniture.

The sides

The decoration of the sides is similar to the facade, which illustrates the care taken in the ornamentation of this cabinet.
