This Italian vitrine from 1852 is actually four separate parts, it towers over you at ten feet high, and is absolutely majestic. It features a dove in flight on top of a cameo of foliage and garlands that rest upon the upper cabinet. This upper section is adorned with a large rams head in the center of the upper band. The front has two glazed door with etched glass flanked by Acanthus scrollwork and two corner shelves. Two gorgeous hand carved grotesques in the form of Wolfhounds support the upper case. The base cabinet has two hand-scalloped drawers separated by a large bull-calf’s head. Two large doors showcase hand carved voluminous grapes and foliage wrapped with bow ribbon garland. It has Acanthus scrollwork on either side with bun style turned feet.
