It's no surprise that Bellonby, an architect by trade, infused this display cabinet (16 in. deep by 31 in. - wide by 84 in. tall) with architectural elements, seen in the bridge motif of the base, the Art Deco details, and the crown molding on the cabinet. He spent more than 200 hours designing the piece and more than 300 hours building it. The cabinet is Brazilian rosewood, and the base is soft maple ebonized with water-soluble dye. It is finished with dewaxed shellac followed by a water-based lacquer.
