Walnut marquetry bookcase cabinet, the molded cornice issuing from two volutes with leaf carving over the two doors opening to an interior with three fixed shelves and upholstered in off-white linen trimmed with gimp; the lower section with two doors each with fine marquetry panels of a Baroque urn with flowers and birds on a fanciful table, opening to an interior with a fixed shelf upholstered in blue velvet, all on carved paw feet.

The proportions of this gorgeous cabinet give it a light, airy feel. The golden honey color adds to the effect while the interior, which was upholstered in London, gives it a fresh, updated feel. Even the bottoms of the shelves are upholstered and trimmed in gimp.

The dark blue velvet of the lower half is showing its age.

The glass doors originally had one vertical and two horizontal muntins. Each of two side windows also had two horizontal muntins. They were removed sometime in the 19th century, as evidenced by the wavy glass. The glass in the right-hand door is modern.

Feet are old, probably original, but have been reset.
