View the second photo in this listing, which is a computer-generated simulation showing the piece in a high-end modern interior. It reveals a surprising "modernity," luminosity, and abstraction for a piece conceived over two centuries ago, as well as a touch of class and elegance to the ensemble. The high Viennese Neoclassical antique cabinetmaking, with its sober and minimal elegance, aligns well with the lines of modern furniture.
