Very Large Lion China Cabinet
(inventory # DD-196)
It's a full six feet tall and almost five feet wide!
This impressive china closet features a very wide bowed glass door in front
for great access to the interior, and terrific display. Note that
the door glass is framed by a a distinctive deep molding. Heavy deep
moldings are also used on the crown and the base. Nicely defined lions
guard each side of the door. Their bodies are accented by acanthus
leaf carvings and as the columns turn into pilasters deep relief carvings
offer more floral and leaf motifs. The face of this china is slightly
projected because of the serpentine sides- a rarity. The interior
of the piece features four original wood shelves with plate grooves.
Each of these shelves have a full range of adjustment - literally every
inch- so you can accommodate unusual sized pieces. The back is one
large mirror back so there are never any rails to offset the shelves.
This is a grand china closet, strong and sturdy, one of the nicest we have
had. Key included.
