A Sheraton rosewood cabinet, only 3ft. high, with gilt enrichments to the antique vases italy pillars and mouldings and with a white marble top. The short tapered feet (en toupie) are of French origin and one can clearly see that in the baroque german cabinet 1820s the value of solid mahogany ribbon back chairs collar widened and the antique billiard ball rest withered to give the cupboards with ogee architectural effect familiar bun effect. A very rich piece in which the antique canada safe credenza shape is apparent.
Strictly speaking, all the antique restoration winchester following should fall under side cabinets, but the antique royal winton term credenza is generally used for a highly decorated, shaped antique cabinet, so it seems sensible to use it as well.

A fine marquetry side cabinet richly decorated and well carved wherever possible. Plenty of good quality ormolu. The pillar effects also add to the art deco candle sticks glass feeling of opulence. c. 1855
An exceptional break-front cabinet in the library ladder chair regency French taste, decorated with ceramic plaques and very fine quality marquetry in a variety of exotic woods.
