Design for a Cabinet with Inset Fabric Panels, and Two Female Classical Statues on Marble Pedestals 1800 - 1850

This anonymous 19th-century design for a cabinet showcases the neoclassical style. The drawing depicts a symmetrical design with classical statues flanking a clock above the cabinet. The cabinet is adorned with inset fabric panels and features vertical grooves, mimicking the look of fluted columns. This drawing, likely intended for a client, provides a detailed plan for constructing a stylish and refined piece of furniture. The use of classical motifs, such as the statues and the fluted cabinet, suggests a connection to the ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, which were greatly admired during the neoclassical period.
