Description

LATE VICTORIAN  ·  CIRCA 1880–1900  ·  ATTRIBUTED TO COLLINSON & LOCK

An impressive late Victorian mahogany display cabinet, richly decorated with floral marquetry and attributed to Collinson & Lock, with a raised bow-fronted central showcase and three inlaid drawers.

Golden-toned inlay contrasts with the warm mahogany across the cornices, drawer fronts and supporting frame. Three glazed compartments provide space for porcelain, glassware and decorative collections, while the broad open shelf below gives the cabinet a further tier of display.

Date Circa 1880–1900
Materials Mahogany & Decorative Marquetry

Key Characteristics

  • Late Victorian display cabinet, circa 1880–1900
  • Attributed to Collinson & Lock
  • Richly coloured mahogany with extensive contrasting marquetry
  • Raised bow-fronted central showcase
  • Two flanking rectangular glazed compartments
  • Fabric-lined interiors with display shelving
  • Three marquetry-decorated drawers
  • Six architectural supports with tapering lower sections
  • Broad open lower display shelf
  • Lock stamped “COPE & COLLINSON”

Architectural Form & Display

The elevated central showcase projects forward in a bowed profile, framed by upright pilasters and a moulded cornice. Two slightly lower rectangular compartments flank it, creating a balanced, stepped outline.

The curved central glazed door follows the bow of the cabinet, an outline repeated by the drawer beneath. Internal shelves sit against muted fabric back panels, providing a subdued setting for displayed objects.

Floral & Foliate Marquetry

Contrasting lighter timbers form scrolling foliage, flowering branches, classical urns and ornamental motifs against the mahogany ground. The decoration extends across the cornices and down the uprights, connecting the upper showcases with the supporting frame.

Particularly detailed compositions fill the three drawer fronts. The bowed central drawer combines floral scrollwork with classical ornament and delicate figural motifs, flanked by corresponding symmetrical panels on the two outer drawers.

Drawers & Supporting Frame

The three drawers provide concealed storage beneath the glazed compartments. Each follows the shape of the section above, maintaining the rhythm of the cabinet’s architectural design.

Six slender supports have moulded capitals and tapering lower sections ending in square feet. Further inlay decorates the front supports, while a broad lower shelf unites the frame and provides additional space for display.

Catalogue Note

Attribution & Lock Marking

This cabinet is offered as attributed to Collinson & Lock, rather than as a confirmed example of the firm’s work.

A fitted lock bears the stamp “COPE & COLLINSON”. This marking is recorded as a feature of the cabinet, but does not by itself establish manufacture by Collinson & Lock. The attribution remains subject to further documentary or constructional evidence.

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!

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!
