Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

A magnificent antique Victorian rosewood inlaid display cabinet and bookcase dating from circa 1880, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship, architectural design, and decorative refinement throughout.

Constructed from richly figured rosewood of outstanding colour and quality, this impressive cabinet is adorned with extensive inlaid decoration across the cornice, frieze, doors, panels, and plinth. The central glazed display section is surmounted by an elegant arched pediment with intricate inlaid ornament, while the stepped superstructure creates a striking and highly decorative silhouette.

The upper section provides excellent display space behind glazed doors, complemented by mirrored panels and open shelving. Below, a further glazed cabinet offers additional storage and display opportunities, flanked by beautifully inlaid cupboard doors featuring classical urn and foliate motifs.

The combination of enclosed storage, display shelving, and architectural detailing makes this a highly practical as well as visually impressive piece, ideal for displaying books, porcelain, glassware, decorative objects, or fine collections.

Victorian rosewood cabinets of this scale and quality are increasingly difficult to source, particularly examples retaining such crisp detailing, impressive proportions, and decorative appeal. Equally suited to a library, drawing room, dining room, study, or country house interior.

A superb statement example of fine 19th-century English craftsmanship.

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.

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!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Hawkins Antiques have been absolutely perfect. The furniture we bought is brilliant, exactly as described and photographed, and the team couldn’t have been more helpful and professional

Dan Sails

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
