An extraordinary early 18th century display cabinet in two sections
This particular display case or porcelain cabinet clearly shows the tide of the new Rococo style
The multi-curved and profiled top is gently crowned with a small shell as a crest
The curves of the top frame are reproduced in the tops of the two glass doors
The beveled sides of the upper cabinet are also glazed. The interior upholstered in white contains two shelves with contoured front. Between the upper cabinet and the lower cabinet, which are separate from each other, there is a highly profiled rail
The lower cabinet has two doors with a shelf behind them, which is rare since most porcelain cabinets have drawers. The doors are each with a rectangular panel, on which there is a contoured profile border. The beveled sides also have panels bordered by moldings.
The wavy bottom rail and ball feet still indicate influence from the William and Mary period
