Cabinet 1875 - 1877

"Cabinet" is a richly carved, ornately decorated piece of furniture created by English cabinetmaker George Croome between 1875 and 1877. The piece features intricate details, including a central medallion with a bronze relief scene, a decorative frieze with a Greek key pattern, and elaborate floral motifs. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, the cabinet stands as a testament to Croome's skilled craftsmanship, characteristic of the Victorian era's taste for elaborate and highly decorative furnishings.
