Antique Mahogany Display Cabinet with Ormolu Mounts by C. Mellier & Co London

A refined and elegant antique display cabinet by C. Mellier & Co, London, stamped to the reverse and dating to circa 1900. C. Mellier & Co were respected London cabinet makers known for producing high-quality furniture for fashionable late-Victorian and Edwardian interiors. This cabinet reflects that tradition - beautifully proportioned, light in appearance, and designed for refined display rather than heavy storage. The serpentine glazed front and bowed glass sides create a graceful silhouette, allowing light to pass through and enhancing the presentation of porcelain, silver, or decorative objects. The mahogany frame is of excellent tone and colour, complemented by finely cast ormolu mounts to the crest, corners, apron and feet. The interior retains its rich red velvet lining, providing a striking contrast and dramatic backdrop for displayed pieces. Raised on slender cabriole legs with a shaped under-tier, the cabinet has both elegance and presence without dominating a room - ideal for a drawing room, hallway, or formal reception space.
