Vitrine Maur — Louis XV Style - Vitrine Maur — Louis XV Style The Vitrine Maur is an exquisite Louis XV style display cabinet crafted from solid cherrywood and embodying the fluid Rococo elegance of mid eighteenth century Parisian ébénisterie. Distinguished by its double arched chapeau de gendarme top rails and scalloped lower apron, the cabinet features two grand glazed doors and transparent lateral panels that provide multi angled viewing of the interior glass shelving. Custom cast gilt bronze mounts—including high relief espagnolettes and a rocaille trophy—enhance the cabinet's sculptural presence, while slender cabriole legs terminating in bronze sabots complete the refined silhouette. Finished in a warm hand applied patina and measuring 189 × 108 × 40 cm, it stands as a statement of French historical prestige [Loc FR822]
