Not only is it about 30cms taller than any others we could find it’s also considerably wider as most are around 90cms wide . It’s so large that we couldn’t use our photography area to take photos . We’d be surprised if you can find another as large and as impressive as this amazing piece .
In the French Palladian style it dates to around 1840-1850 . The flame mahogany veneers that have been used are better than usual , and the carving is as crisp as you’ll see . It was definitely made for a very grand interior and is a statement piece .
It comes apart for ease of transport , but the mirror and columns are still very heavy . It does need to be screwed into a wall at the top for stability , and has appropriate metal fittings attached .
The mahogany is a lovely rich original colour .
Condition
Some small veneer knocks if you look closely mainly on the top , so not visible from ground level
