Which Rococo furniture piece is described as a corner cabinet that holds collectible coins and is decorated with ormolu?

• A. Corner cabinet that holds collectible coins, decorated with ormolu
• B. Niche cabinet
• C. Console table
• D. Sideboard

Answer: (A)

Rococo furniture often uses ormolu, gilded bronze mounts, to add lavish, decorative flair, and it embraces intimate display pieces with curving lines. A corner cabinet designed to hold collectible coins fits this idea precisely: it’s a display-focused cabinet placed in a corner, typically adorned with ornate ormolu mounts to catch the eye while showcasing small items. The other options don’t match this combination: a niche cabinet is meant to fit into a recess rather than function as a corner display cabinet; a console table is a slim, typically open-top table without a storage cabinet for coins; a sideboard is a larger dining-room storage piece, not a corner display cabinet.
