An imperial touch to enhance your exceptional objects. Here is a rare Empire-style display case in flamed mahogany, made at the end of the 19th century and richly adorned with gilded bronzes. Inspired by the decorative movement of the Return from Egypt, it combines imperial symbols and ancient references: antique female busts, a Napoleonic eagle in coronation, plant friezes, and a laurel wreath. A sculptural piece, with a solemn and singular charm. This piece was repurposed by its former owners as a gun display case or closed rack, and can now accommodate large vertical objects: antique weapons, instruments, statues, or collector's items.
