Display cabinet c. 1898

This display cabinet, crafted by Ernest Archibald Taylor around 1898, exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement with its emphasis on craftsmanship and natural materials. The cabinet's rich mahogany finish and intricate geometric design, including stylized floral motifs and brass hardware, demonstrate the movement's focus on both beauty and utility. Now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, this piece offers a glimpse into the aesthetic principles of the late 19th century.
