This exquisite Victorian credenza, dating from circa 1880, is a stunning example, offered in excellent showroom condition. The piece is crafted from fine burr walnut, known for its rich, swirling grain patterns and vibrant color, which give the credenza a distinguished presence. Its bow-fronted shape adds a sense of elegance and fluidity, making it a standout piece in any room.
What sets this credenza apart is its unusual black inlay, which enhances the overall design and adds an unexpected contrast to the warm tones of the walnut. The central door features an eye-catching inlaid design, skillfully executed with intricate marquetry details that draw the eye and showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of the era.
Flanking the central door are two beautifully bowed glass doors, each offering a clear view of the interior, which is fitted with two fixed shelves. This design not only highlights the elegant curvature of the credenza but also allows for practical storage and display, making it a versatile piece.
The top of the credenza is particularly noteworthy, with carefully selected burr walnut veneer creating a seamless and highly attractive surface that is both visually stunning and finely finished. The credenza is further enhanced with brass ormolu mounts and edging, adding a touch of luxury and refinement to the piece.
Additionally, the credenza is fitted with working locks and key. Its overall design, with its combination of traditional and unique features, makes this Victorian credenza a rare and striking addition to any collection.
