This dramatic breakfront is an early Bespaq piece, complete with original labels on the bottom. The piece is made primarily of wood and is finished in a dark "red mahogany" stain. The sides of the piece are framed with round columns, painted black with gold highlights.
I am not an expert, but would describe the style of this piece as Neo-Classical. It features a triangular pediment at the top, with two working "glass" doors in the middle, and 2 working solid doors at the bottom, and the aforementioned black and gold columns on the two front edges.
The pediment has a gold-painted vine detail at the center. The "glass" doors are made of clear acrylic, and open to reveal 3 display shelves within: 2 clear acrylic "glass, and one solid wood shelf at the bottom. The backing of this display section is made of real glass mirror (with Bespaq's typical velvet covering on the back of the mirror. The front edging of the two clear shelves has a thin "wood" strip glued along the edge for added architectural detail. The two smaller doors in the bottom section open to reveal two storage shelves.
Both doors feature tiny brass door knobs.
This piece would look wonderful in a dining room or library, and would be appropriate for many time periods and room styles.
