Description: Outrageous Rococo Victorian rosewood server with thick red and white marble top with beveled black border. The marble (repaired) is a rare rich red and white color. The mirror has a fantasy winged serpent creature with tongue out menacingly viewing an open mouthed snake on the right hand side. The wings feature superb detail in the carvings. The lower part of the serpent, along with flowers and leaves, are carved in relief in front of an original mirror. The two drawers are asymmetrical and have three dimensionally open carved vines and leaves applied to the fronts. Two large cabriole shaped legs with carvings at the top go from the surface to the base in front. The cabinet has two mirrored doors with a heavily carved molding for a border. We have had the interior of the cabinet restored. It has four compartments made of satinwood with rosewood fronts. This cabinet was certainly made by one of the fine NYC craftsmen of the period. Alexander Roux used rich carvings and unusual marbles on many of his pieces but we can't make a definite attribution. This is a unique attractive piece with most amazing carvings! Circa: 1860 Dimensions: 62.5"H x 62"W x 23"D Finish: Very good original finish and patina Price: $16,950.00 ON SALE: $9750.00
