A beautiful late-Victorian Aesthetic Movement bamboo cabinet with ebonised, Japanned panels and a striking verre églomisé fall-front painted with bird, blossom and fireworks motifs. The top lifts to a deep compartment lined in original tufted purple satin, while the lower drop-front opens on chains to a cushioned interior—ideal as a petite cocktail, jewellery or sewing/work cabinet.
The slender faux-bamboo frame, splayed legs and dark floral panels hit that Anglo-Japanese mood perfectly and style brilliantly in Japandi, old-money and maximalist rooms.
Honest age throughout: small knocks, scuffs and lacquer wear to the bamboo; rubbing and marks to the Japanned panels; the drop-front glass shows a visible diagonal crack as photographed; lining with expected wear. Presentable, sturdy and ready to place.
Approx. size 43 × 31 × 77 cm (about 17" × 12.25" × 30.25").
