Maurice Dufrene Art Déco cabinet

About the Item

This storage unit, highly prized for its cubic geometry, opens with two doors. The opening of these is called French. The furniture rests on a base with slender feet, gilded, finished with volutes. The interior of the furniture consists of five storage units with a zipper covered with leather. Note that the leather has wear and tear. This zipper is used to put objects before taking them out. The compartments are intended to contain precious objects, papers, trinkets and curiosities. This particity is very popular with collectors. The opening of the furniture is done by three flat golden brass hinges and the closing is done with a lock point up and down to avoid the deformation of the doors.
