English Art Deco Butterfly Door Display Cabinet
English Art Deco Circular Display Cabinet with Butterfly Doors
A striking original English Art Deco display cabinet from the 1930s, distinguished by its dramatic circular form and unusual butterfly doors. The two curved glass doors open outward from the center, creating a wonderful sculptural presentation while allowing full access to the interior.
The cabinet features beautifully figured wood veneers with a rich, warm finish that highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail. A prominent vertical center column divides the circular cabinet into two sections, each fitted with glass display shelves, making it ideal for showcasing a collection of Art Deco glass, ceramics, sculpture, clocks, or other decorative objects.
The circular body rests on an unusual shaped wooden base that complements the overall design. Particularly interesting is the way the curved doors follow the circular outline when closed, giving the cabinet a completely different appearance when opened.
Measuring approximately 49 inches tall by 52 inches wide, this is a substantial piece without overwhelming a room. An exceptional example of English Art Deco furniture, combining a very unusual design with practical display space. Beautiful from every angle and especially impressive when filled with a collection of period objects.
