CONTACT US FOR OUR BEST DEAL
This stunning and exquisite sideboard cabinet was expertly crafted from Rosewood with brass and rose lucite center cabinet pulls. This monumentally sized cabinet was clearly an important piece as its craftsmanship and materials are first-class. The rippled Rosewood cabinet doors and rose tinted lucite pulls are ahead of its time. Refinished in a French Polish which accentuates the exotic Rosewood grain and protects the surface against regular daily use.
The features on this eye-catcher are quite comprehensive. Let's start with the most obvious: incredible book-matched Rosewood across the top, front center doors and running along the base and side cabinet doors. Such wild attention to detail creating a stunning visual effect. Now let's pay attention to the more subtle details such as the rippled corners - there are actually concealed compartment doors somewhat hidden in those ripples. The center door pulls are also superb - the center plates in lightly patinated brass and the handles in rose colored lucite with gently beveled edges.
While we are very confident that this cabinet was designed by someone important and for an important client, we are unsure of the maker at this time. It was previously attributed to Louis Majorelle however we believe this cabinet to be from the 1930s which is after he passed in 1926. Rosewood with this exotic of grain combined with the use of rose colored lucite pulls is a sign that this was not just any run of the mill piece but something with plenty of thought and care devised into its creation.
This Rosewood French Art Deco sideboard cabinet would work great in an Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, Post-Modern or Mid-Century Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern, Danish Modern or Zen / Minimalist room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, or Classical room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.

CONDITION:
Cabinet was fully disassembled for restoration and each piece was refinished with a French Polish lacquer to the Rosewood. Rosewood exterior is absolutely exquisite. The interior portions were cleaned and touched up but we wanted to keep the age present so the interior was not fully refinished. Brass also has its original patina as we decided to also keep its age visible but can be polished upon request. After refinishing with a French Polish the cabinet was reassembled and all portions are tight, sturdy and structurally sound. Ready for immediate use.
