An English Porcelain Mounted Walnut Cabinet
In the Louis XV Manner
Employing fine Circassian burr walnut, decorated with blue ground 'Sèvres' porcelain panels and gilt bronze mounts, supported on cabriole sabot-shod legs headed by espagnolettes, the single-door cabinet set with an oval porcelain panel of a 'fête galante' and a further four corner porcelain panels, the interior with a single shelf, the veneered top with an ormolu lambrequin surround and three-quarter pierced gallery.
English, circa 1850
Produced by several cabinetmakers, a variation of this design was shown at the 1851 Great Exhibition and a related example was likely purchased in 1846 by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria. Unlike those examples, the present cabinet employs walnut, a very English timber.
