Antique Rococo Revival Painted Sheet Music Cabinet with Glass Top

Description : This ornate Rococo Revival sheet music cabinet features elegant hand-painted panels depicting a classical 18th-century musical scene, surrounded by applied gilt molding and scrollwork. The shaped mirrored top adds reflective depth, while the interior houses vertical dividers for storing sheet music or periodicals. Cabriole legs and worn gilt accents add to its aged charm. Though the back panel shows signs of repainting, the cabinet retains strong visual impact and functions beautifully as a decorative accent or conversation piece.
