Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

A highly decorative antique French walnut display cabinet vitrine, dating to circa 1900, combining elegant cabinetmaking with richly painted porcelain plaques, shaped glazing and gilt-metal mounts.

The tall single-door form is beautifully proportioned, with a warm walnut frame displaying attractive natural figuring and colour. The glazed front is framed with decorative gilt-metal detailing, while the upper and lower sections are embellished with numerous painted porcelain plaques depicting romantic and pastoral scenes.

The cabinet is crowned by a shaped architectural top with gilt-metal gallery and central cresting, giving the piece a particularly refined French appearance. Below, the shaped glazed door opens to a shelved interior, making it ideal for displaying porcelain, glass, silver, objets d’art or a curated collection.

Raised on elegant cabriole-style legs with further gilt-metal embellishment, the cabinet has excellent vertical presence without taking up excessive floor space. Its narrow proportions make it especially versatile for drawing rooms, bedrooms, hallways, libraries or formal interiors.

The combination of walnut, painted porcelain plaques, gilt-metal mounts and shaped glazing gives this vitrine considerable decorative appeal. French display cabinets of this type remain sought after by collectors and interior designers for their craftsmanship, practical display potential and strong visual character.

Very happy with the sideboard and is a lovely addition to our home.

I found Hawkin’s website when looking for an antique cabinet online. I found the perfect piece, ordered it and it had arrived a week later! Free shipping, great communication and 2 guys who carried it in the house and assembled it. Great service, I will be using again in the future. Thank you!

Purchased a beautiful 19th century French kingwood display cabinet from Hawkins Antiques. I am delighted with my purchase and would love to purchase from here again in the future! Lee provided excellent communication with very quick and thorough responses. Delivery was arranged extremely quickly and the delivery duo did a brilliant job up a narrow staircase, getting the cabinet into position safely and without issue. Highly recommend Lee and all at Hawkins Antiques!

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

Chloe Frost

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!
