It is in good condition for … moreProfessionally restored and freshly waxed, this piece is stable and the blemishes are inconspicuous. It is in good condition for its age. We mention the following details to provide a comprehensive understanding of the restoration work and the current condition, which is typical for furniture of this era. Ivory stringing is missing in a few spots. Importantly, this piece meets the ivory band legislation due to the small percentage of ivory used and its age. Surface wear includes scratches and minor knicks on the top and throughout the piece, with visible wear where the doors open. There is a separation between the top and the body at the back, consistent with the original construction. The top part of the gallery appears to have been repaired and glued. The gallery was designed to be fastened with wooden pegs, resulting in some movement, which is normal. A crack is present near the front corner and the top on the left side, and the veneer is slightly bubbling in areas on the top front edge due to the steaming process used to bend it, which has caused warping over time. The front left side has veneer missing at the edge of the left side corner, and the right side has veneer missing in the right corner, with a small crack adjacent to it. Additionally, there is a vertical crack in the center of the right side panel. The three original locks are functional, and the piece includes its key. The cabinet has three shelf levels with identical measurements. Please refer to the attached images for visual confirmation of the described conditions. Except for the top gallery, the rest of the cabinet is a single, non-dismantling piece. H=50.75 in. W=50.5 in. D=17 in. 200 lbs. less

Description: This Early 19th Century English Regency Greek Revival Calamander and Jasperware Cabinet with Ivory Stringing is a testament to the … more This Early 19th Century English Regency Greek Revival Calamander and Jasperware Cabinet with Ivory Stringing is a testament to the era's dedication to craftsmanship and historical reverence. Unlike prior periods, Regency designers often sought to incorporate motifs of ancient gods and utilize various woods and finishes. Furniture from this period was typically shorter, allowing for the display of paintings above and more treasures on the surfaces.

This cabinet, carved entirely from rare calamander wood, exemplifies these principles. Calamander, an exotic and expensive wood, was usually reserved for small items like jewelry boxes. Over time, the wood became nearly extinct, making pieces of this size exceptionally rare. The rich brown coloring of the calamander contrasts beautifully with the ivory inlay, enhancing its visual appeal.

The cabinet features plain lines that highlight its decorative elements without distraction. At the back of the top, a small rail includes a centered octagonal jasperware panel, a type of pottery known for its unglazed matte finish and blue color, created in 1770. Hand-carved miniature Colchester balusters beneath the rail mimic the urn-like curves of the posts at each end. The top center panel depicts a Greek couple with cupids, playful imagery that complements the other panels below. The fading gold leaf trim around the top and outlining of the panel and rail add a touch of elegance.

The apron of the cabinet showcases an ivory inlay with an asymmetrical floral design, ornate yet symmetrical, enhancing the linear design of the piece. The front of the cabinet features three doors: the largest with a glass panel for displaying items inside, and the left and right panels each with an octagonal jasperware panel. The left panel depicts Nemesis, the goddess holding a chalice and dagger, while the right panel features Hebe, the goddess of youth, often associated with Aphrodite. These panels tell a story of love's highs and lows, adding depth to the cabinet's historical narrative.

Each panel is framed with a lighter calamander wood inlay, matching the trim and enhancing the overall design. The three original locks are functional, and the piece includes its key. The cabinet has three shelf levels with identical measurements.

This exquisite cabinet, rare and rich in history, is an ideal acquisition for collectors who appreciate Regency furniture design. Its timeless elegance makes it a cherished addition to any living area, bedroom, or office.
