19th Century Country French Louis XIV Corner Cabinet ~ Vitrine is a marvel of craftsmanship, with an upper tier glazed on three sides and a lower cabinet that provides surprising storage in style!  The arched crown on top is shaped like an archer's bow, and centered with a floral bouquet.  The crown cascades down to the boldly molded mitered corners, a feature that continues down to and including the lower cabinet.  Exquisite hand-carved overlay appears over the glass with similar motifs appearing on the mitered corners of the lower cabinet as well.  Stylized shell carvings and scrollwork adorn the upper portions of the top tier overlooking the four glazed panes of the door.  The lower cabinet door features an artfully arched raised panel with an interesting hatchwork motif.  Perfect for beautifying an otherwise unused corner space!
Circa 1870s
