Description
This one-of-a-kind masterpiece embodies the sophistication and craftsmanship of 19th-century Europe. The ebonized rosewood exterior is adorned with delicate floral inlays of brass, copper, and zinc, showcasing a harmonious blend of natural elegance and opulent detail.
Inside, gilded Baccarat crystal cordial glasses and matching carafes gleam with timeless refinement. The clever design includes two hidden sliding side drawers, perfectly sized for storing cigars, adding an element of surprise and utility to this already extraordinary piece.
A beautifully ornate device, it locks securely with its original key. Upon unlocking, the box unfolds with a captivating mechanism: the tray holding the crystal decanters and glasses gracefully lifts from the interior. The removable rack allows easy access, while the concealed cigar compartments underneath provide an additional layer of intrigue.
A rare and uniquely European artifact of period perfection, this cordial cellar is a true testament to the artistry of the Napoleon III era.
ca. 1850’s
