Coromandel Inlaid Vitrine

Highly-prized coromandel, or East Indian ebony, was used to create this beautiful Victorian vitrine. Featuring delicate inlay in the Victorian/Edwardian style and glass panels framed in the equally luxurious satinwood, this cabinet is constructed to fit flush against a wall with baseboards. Elegant cabinets such as this are perfect for displaying one’s treasures, but with original locks, keys, mirrors and fleur-de-lis fabric, this case is a prized possession unto itself.

Circa 1890

Coromandel ebony is variegated brown and black, often called “streaky,” wood. It is considered a highly valuable wood for turnery, fine cabinet work and joinery and is also excellent for best quality carving.
