Pair of Ornate Gilt-Finish Curved Glass Display Cabinets - Rococo Style

Overview
Two ornate display cabinets in a Rococo style with a gold gilt finish. Each cabinet features a demi-lune (bow-front) form with curved glass panels to the front and flat glass side panels, an elaborately carved and pierced pediment crown, mirrored back panel, glass shelving, a single drawer to the base, and carved cabriole feet. The two cabinets are similar in style but differ in their crown and carved detailing, indicating they are a complementary pair rather than an identical matched pair.
