Collinson & Lock attributed
An Anglo-Japanese inverted mahogany sideboard, the arched open cornice with a small central carved display bracket to the centre, and an upper display shelf, a dentil cornice below with Japanese shelves to the centre above two small drawers, flanked by a pair of astragal glazed doors with adjustable shelves inside and Japanese design fretwork to the side panels.
The base section with upper bulbous fluted moulded detail all around, with four doors below, the central pair inset and inlaid with stylized floral garlands, urns and ribbons, flanked by two further doors inlaid with ribbons, pipes and garlands, over a central open display with turned uprights and floral fretwork arched details, flanked by two drawers to each side, with a further full width open display area to the base with fluted upright supports with arched details to the sides. The whole stood on bracket feet.
The last image is a drawing of a similar cabinet by Collinson and Lock that was exhibited at the 1878 Paris World Fair, showing many of the same details and overall design of the cabinet we have available here.
