This anonymous 19th-century design for a mirrored, marble-topped cabinet and two sofas reflects the popular Neoclassical style in furniture design. The intricate carvings, delicate lines, and symmetrical composition were hallmarks of the era, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. The cabinet's mirrored back adds a touch of elegance and functionality to the room, while the sofas offer comfortable seating. This design, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, provides a glimpse into the refined taste of 19th-century interiors.
