A breath-taking 19th-century kingwood credenza of exceptional quality, richly adorned with Sèvres-style porcelain plaques and finely cast gilt ormolu mounts.
This rare and sculptural piece features a shaped top, a central cupboard with a large hand-painted porcelain plaque, and twin curved glazed side cabinets - all elevated by elaborate gilded figural mounts and floriate appliqués. The kingwood veneer is beautifully book-matched to create dramatic symmetry across the façade.
Each porcelain plaque depicts finely painted cherubs and romantic scenes in the Sèvres tradition, framed by detailed ormolu surrounds. Ormolu-mounted caryatids and mythological figures flank each section, reinforcing the grandeur and opulence of the design.
Originally from the collection at Great Brampton House, this cabinet carries both historical provenance and museum-worthy decorative impact. The quality of craftsmanship throughout -woodwork, marquetry, bronze casting, and porcelain painting - is at the very highest standard of 19th-century furniture making.
