Italian Creme-Peinte and Parcel-Gilt Cabinet, early 19th century, the shaped crest with palmetto finials flanking a central masque-carved shield, above a case fitted with two astragal-glazed doors over two paneled cupboard doors, all doors with applied foliate giltwood accents, raised on a molded plinth, h. 89", w. 46-1/2", d. 16-1/2".

Note that this lot is early 19TH century (NOT early 20th century as stated in the print and earlier online catalogues). The right rear carved finial to the gallery at the top is off but present. There are numerous chips, flakes and areas of re-touch to the crest as well. Shrinkage cracks and minor repairs over the years. Both of the upper glazed doors show looseness to the windows around their outer edges where they meet the wooden frame. The upper section is designed to take one adjustable shelf; however, the shelf is lacking. The lower section has a wooden scalloped shelf which is permanent. There is a key present. All of the doors close well. The entire surface shows old wear, repaint and regilding.
