Description: Exceptional Victorian French styled curio cabinet attributed
to R.J. Horner, NYC. It has a full bombeyed shape with original glass,
mirrored back, and two glass shelves. There is an open brass fancy pediment
on the top with a painting of three cherubs underneath. The entire cabinet
is painted with floral and scenic designs. The legs, door, and glasses are
all framed by a delicate brass trim. The number "1347" is found on two
places on the back (see photo) - both stenciled and incised. The way this
is done points to the Horner attribution. We have the original fancy
dolphin brass key. Horner made a number of extra fine grade pieces in the
French style towards the end of the nineteenth century. This is a wonderful
example exhibiting great quality through the shape, paintings, and brass
work!
