The Classical Revival style is one of the most popular types of architecture in America, whether for furniture or buildings. Also known as Neoclassicism, this style was all the rage in America and the UK in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Neoclassicism was about a renewed interest in classical forms, and English craftsmen and sculptors of the 1890s quickly embraced the style. Music cabinets were given a neoclassical twist. These cabinets were used to store classical music, classifying sheets by size, category or type. If you own one of these sheet music cabinets, you should get it appraised as it could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
