19th Century English Regency Rosewood Side Cabinet

Small side cabinets of this basic form are one of the staples of the furniture of the period. The use of mirrored plates makes a room look bigger as a result of the reflection and also keeps the sunlight off of the spines of treasured books or other delicate items. The mirrored plates have aged beautifully and the spotting on the silvered surfaces is extremely desirable amongst connoisseurs of period mirrors. This cabinet is executed throughout in well figured rosewood with boxwood stringing and it stands on finely turned toupie feet.
