EXCEPTIONAL CABINET In ebony and patinated wood The marbled gilded tortoiseshell front with coffered panels opens to reveal ten drawers or flaps framing a central tabernacle door between two bronze-ringed twisted columns. The jambs, pediment, door and drawers are adorned with casings set with thirty-six glass-framed mythological subjects inspired by LUCA GIORDANO (1634-1705). The central door reveals a theatre punctuated by five twisted columns on a mirror background, with a drawer at the base and a secret in the background. On a base resting on two uprights made of twisted columns linked by an encircling brace. 17th century period (Restorations, accidents on three of the legs) 194 x 185 x 52 cm
