Chinese Display Cabinet with Glass Top

A glass-topped box on cabriole legs with claw feet, like a very small jeweler.

This display cabinet with glass top is from China, and dates to the 19th century. It is elm wood & glass. Collectors generally weigh aesthetics, age, condition, design, origin and provenance when judging antique furniture, though the article argues that scarcity ends up with the greatest influence on value. Square display table with a glazed top and sides, set in a dark wood frame. A carved apron with a small central medallion rests above four curved cabriole legs that end in carved paw feet. It is 51.5 inches long, 35 deep and 36.25 high.

A table that clearly dreamed of a European vacation.
