19th Century Davenport Desk. The overall desk is ebonized rosewood and it is lavishly embellished with
bronze Dore and a good amount of brass string inlay. First when you lift the top compartment with the
bronze Dore gallery you can see it is a full fitted interior compartment in a very interesting wood- I don’t
know exactly what it is but it could quite possible be U wood or bird’s eye maple.

Early Dutch Marquetry Curio Cabinet
|
Late 18th Century or early 19th Century Dutch Marquetry Curio Cabinet. I actually have never seen a
Dutch marquetry piece in this form – I absolutely love it. It has great signs of age and the surface is rich
and lustrous. The contrast with the dark wood and lighter color inlays is spectacular along with the
florals all the way around.

Curio Cabinet Walnut Art Nouveau
|
This is an extremely elegant china cabinet. It is in a pale brown mahogany. It is lavishly yet tastefully
mounted in gilt glass. The lines of the cabinets are very stark and straight – the mountings play a big
part in making the lines of this cabinet flow. On the bottom of each door there is a nice hand carved
panel in typically Art Nouveau florals. The china cabinet has a mirror back and beveled glass front
doors – and it is a very wide bevel.

19th Century Carved Wood Torchere Pedestal
|
Nice torchere “pedestal” completely hand carved of what appears to be oak. It has as you can see
incorporated several different designs – which makes it scream of that look of antiquity. I believe this
torchere dates from the middle 1800’s and overall the condition is fabulous. It is very sturdy – the
surface extremely dry – just the way we found it – with that look we love – perfect to display a wonderful
bronze or early candlestick on top.

19th Century Carved Wood Gold Gilt Arm Chair

Here is one of the most outrageous chairs I have ever laid eyes on. There is no way that your eye can
stay stationary while looking at this chair. I believe it dates from the 19th century – as you can see it has
the most incredible bold movement. The carving is truly excellent – and it is carved! The carving is so
elegant – it is well defined and the cherub faces are just very very precious - they do look like a chubby
cheeked little baby.
