A Louis XVI style ormolu mounted glass topped mahogany bijouterie table c1900. The making of this sort of French cabinet designed to display small precious objects came about as a result of the influx of small Japanese objects from the 1870’s onwards. Edmund de Waal’s wonderful novel ‘The Hare with Amber Eyes’ illustrates this development in French furniture beautifully.
