An antique Austrian painted wall cabinet door, 19th century the cavity cabinet with rectangular door with ebonised frame enclosing two painted panels, one figural and one depicting a stag, with arched ornaments and floral detailing height 46.85 in., width 25.59 in., depth 3.94 in.
- Panels - Timber pieces, usually of well-figured wood either recessed or applied over the frames of doors and as decoration elsewhere in the carcase of cabinet furniture. The panels may take a variety of shapes rectangular, square, shield shape, oval, half-round or in the form of Egyptian pylons.
- Ebonised - Timber that has been stained or lacquered black in imitation of ebony. The process has been used since the Renaissance, but is most commonly found in late 19th century furniture, sometimes gilded and turned in imitation of bamboo. Furniture with an ebonised finish is not currently in vogue, and this is reflected in the price for such pieces.
