A finely mounted Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted mahogany vitrine Paris, circa 1885

surmounted by a later pink breccia marble top, fittted with a pair of bevelled glazed doors opneing to four adjustable later mirrored shelves.  Electrified.

Overall good condition; the gilt-bronze mounts finely cast and chased and with some areas of dirt and tarnishing but retaining original gilding; the veneers and timbers with the usual minor scratches and nicks consistent with age and use; the upper interior section to the cabinet electrified and with a plastic shade to cover the bulbs. To both front angles of mahogany moulding just beneath the marble, are two pieces detached--they are now available in a bag and need to be reglued.
