ANTIQUE FRENCH NAPOLEON III Ebony & Brass CAVE A LIQUEUR DECANTER BOX A/F
ANTIQUE FRENCH NAPOLEON III Ebony & Brass CAVE A LIQUEUR DECANTER BOX A/F ... Click images to enlarge Description AN ANTIQUE 19th CENTURY NAPOLEON III PERIOD FRENCH INLAID EBONISED & BRASS CAVE A LIQUEUR
Measures 10" tall, 12.75" wide and 9.5" deep ; weighs 3780 grams unpacked
Dating from the period of the reign of Napleon III, circa 1870's
Made from ebonised wood with inlaid brass stringing & stunning boulle decoration. It has a beautiful serpentine front and very mildly domed lid ~ this would have been a very expensive example when new.
It has a gilt metal and lacquered wood veneer lift out tray for four decanters and up to 16 glasses ..... none of the glassware is present.
Condition : In original used antique condition. There are some faults and losses, and is therefore sold as seen as a restoration project if you wish to make it perfect. I have taken detailed close-up photographs. There is some missing brass stringing ; the lock has been removed ; one of the lid stay supports is not in place ( though I do have it, and will include ) ; some finishing edging is missing to the rear ... please refer to the detailed photographs to satisfy yourself. But overall I would say it is not too bad at all and is certainly useable as it is, and really does look lovely on display.
A great item for someone with the necessary skills and time if you wish to make it perfect. If you have any questions, please ask.
Fantastic potential !
Nominal low start ... Good Luck
