This exceptional piece showcases exquisite craftsmanship with hand-painted Vernis Martin panels, richly depicting an 18th-century romantic scene framed by lavish gilt-bronze ormolu mounts.

The cabinet is masterfully constructed from kingwood and tulipwood veneers in a serpentine form, crowned with a beautifully contoured and polished rouge marble top. The signature “F. Linke” can be found inscribed on the gilt bronze, authenticating the cabinet’s prestigious origin and linking it directly to one of the finest artisans of the period.
