Description

Antique commercial display cabinet, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, a beautiful example of industrial-meets-art-nouveau design. The cabinet’s multi-tiered structure, with glass windows and drawers, indicates it was meant for displaying small items like jewelry, watches, or apothecary goods. Featuring a sturdy brass or bronze frame, the cabinet is fitted with multiple glass-fronted drawers and a spacious lower compartment with sliding glass doors. The elegant curved glass top allows for an unobstructed view of displayed items. The blend of industrial materials, metal and glass, with more classical, ornate legs suggests Art Nouveau influences, popular in Europe, particularly in France and England during this period. Perfect for showcasing cherished items in a retail or home setting, this French cabinet is a true relic of refined early 20th-century shop fittings.
