Observe the last photo in this listing, which is a fantasy computer simulation where the work is imagined in a modern high-end furniture context. A "modernity", luminosity, and abstraction emerge that are astonishing for a work conceived over two centuries ago. With a great touch of class and elegance to the whole. The high Viennese cabinetmaking of the Classicism period (1770 - 1830), with its sober and minimal elegance, its fine and light woods, is very much linked to the lines of contemporary modern furniture.
