Liquor cabinet - Thuya - Napoleon III liquor cabinet.

This antique object is a 19th-century liqueur chest (French: Cave à liqueur) from the Napoléon III period, made from luxurious thuya wood (often referred to as loupe de thuya or thuyaburl). The box is characteristic of French furniture art from the mid to the end of the 19th century. It features a beautifully curved shape, refined copper inlays/borders, and a central inlaid cartouche with copper and black details on the lid. The liqueur chest has a removable interior with space for four carafes and 14 glasses. The box has a few minor damages. It is missing the key plate and two decorative knobs. The box will be supplied with the original key. Probably the liqueur chest once had feet. The lot will be carefully packed and shipped by registered mail. Photos accompany this description.
