REGENCY ROSEWOOD AND BRASS-INLAID SIDE CABINET OF UNUSUALLY LARGE SCALE

English, circa 1820.

Dimensions:
Width: 214 cm
Depth: 42 cm

An exceptionally rare and impressive Regency rosewood and brass-inlaid side cabinet, of unusually large proportions and retaining a wonderful degree of originality.

The beautifully faded rosewood top is surmounted by a pierced brass gallery, above four cupboard doors. The central pair of pleated silk panels and open to adjustable shelving, while the outer doors are decorated with finely drawn brass-inlaid classical motifs, framed by matching brass inlay.

The shaped outer ends incorporate mirrored backs and shelves, each enclosed by a delicate brass gallery, giving the cabinet an unusually light and versatile character despite its considerable length. The rosewood retains a beautiful original surface, mellowed to an attractive honey-brown tone, with naturally aged brass patination.
