exquisite semicircle-shaped wooden display case in napoleon iii style and inspired by the vernis martin, with three windows and three interior registers. On the door there is an oil painting on wood with a classicist and academic scene, flanked by two landscapes made with the same technique. These paintings are hand signed by a. Rosos.
the display case rests on four legs, all decorated with ormolu details that extend throughout the rest of the piece and serve as a frame for both the glass and the painting. The interior is coded as a body divided into three registers by two glass shelves, and lined with maroon damask fabric. less
