Cabinet 1857 - 1860

"Cabinet" is a piece of furniture created by Léon Marcotte between 1857 and 1860. The cabinet, made of wood and metal, is decorated with an oval relief panel featuring a scene of a woman holding a torch, a prominent motif in French decorative art. The cabinet is now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and is an excellent example of 19th-century French cabinetmaking.
