H: 53.25”, 135.5cms W:36.25”, 92 cms D:19.5”, 49.5 cms.

Note: Coromandel was one of the rarest and most prized exotic veneers only ever found on the very finest pieces due to the very high cost. This was described as being “by far the most beautiful of the fancy woods” at the time when this cabinet was made. Diospyros Celebica / Ebenaceae or Macassar Ebony as it is also known grew on the Celebes Islands between Borneo and Indonesia. It is an exceptionally dense, hard and heavy wood. The quality of the brass gallery, support columns and applique mouldings were only available in London at that time and the combination of Coromandel and Brass in this high Regency Fashion cabinet strongly suggest an attribution to John McLean and Sons of London.
