Did You Know?

This cabinet has elements often seen in a Gothic cathedral, including the dramatic trefoil arches on the bottom.
A tall rosewood corner cabinet tapers to a rounded arch. Three upper shelves are backed by intricate fretwork with circular and pointed cutouts. Below, the curved cupboard door is carved with three tall, pointed arches. Twisted, rope-like columns run down the vertical front corners. The dark brown wood is finished with delicate beaded trim along the edges of the shelves and base.
