3- Collector's cabinet

Collector's cabinet  

 

This cabinet is veneered with an egret marquetry of holly, pink ivory and other woods set into a background of

black ebony.  The water in which the egret stands is simulated by an interestingly marked piece of brown-speckled ebony.

 The inside is veneered in a dramatically contrasting pink ivory and fitted with fourteen drawers.
