There are pieces that arrive and instantly lift a room to another level. This display-cabinet, in magnificent flame mahogany with fine stringing, gives me exactly that feeling: serene nobility, filtered light, and a geometric glazing pattern that reads like poetry on glass. 🪵🪞
The generous cornice crowns the glazed doors with elegant “diamond” muntins, creating windows for your porcelain, crystal and memories. Below, two broad drawers — with worked brass pulls — and a lower cupboard offer discreet, impeccable storage. It’s functional, but above all a gesture of classical beauty. 🗝️
The rich, silky old patina reveals decades of care. I love how the mahogany’s flame dances with the light and how the interior invites a composition: books, dinner services, small sculptures… everything gains gravitas here. It’s an English piece in Georgian/Regency Revival spirit (early 20th century), the kind that speaks to contemporary homes without losing its soul. 📚🍷
I live surrounded by objects with history, and I fell in love with its balance: perfect proportions, refined design and sculptural presence. Anyone who walks in and sees it will understand — it’s a “classic” that brings character, quiet beauty and a discreet glow to everyday life. If you wish, I’ll show it to you in person at Batalha Collection, in Faro. 🤎
