Vienna, circa 1815. Of museum quality, especially due to the condition of preservation and integrity, including the glass part; display cabinet/silversmith's cabinet from the early Viennese Empire period, transitioning into Biedermeier. The furniture is veneered in pear wood, then ebonized to the color of smoke black using a technique in which Viennese master cabinetmakers specialized. The furniture, intact even in the lacquer (the furniture does not show any repainting - a rare circumstance given the delicacy of this type of finish, which, for the majority of existing works, caused the need for successive interventions), has been shellac polished using a pad, even in the interiors, with a museum-standard technique. Dimensions: height 172 cm, width 113 cm, depth 45 cm. Perfect also for combining with high-end modern furniture, in an ensemble of great elegance and class. Work in practically intact condition with shellac pad finish. Original lacquer.
