Period French Art Deco Cabinet in Plum Pudding Mahogany and Bronze Doré

About the Item

A fine case piece of extraordinary craftsmanship and design of plum pudding mahogany created by one of the most celebrated ébénistes and bronziers of late 19th and early 20th century France. The Haentgés brothers are listed by Denise Ledoux-Lebard in "Le Mobilier Français du XIXe Siècle," Haentgés Frères, Immeubles Industriels. Between 1913 and 1923, Art Deco standard-bearer Jacques Emile Ruhlmann outsourced the production of his furniture designs to Haentgés Frères until his own shop was opened. This extremely well constructed and architectural cabinet features fine Louis XVI inspired ormolu mounts covering the outer edges of the case with large bail pulls on the drawers. The piece retains its three original keys and is lined with white moire silk. The uppercase is fitted with four doors with inlaid stylized botanical tablets in ebony. The lower case is outfitted with six drawers with round chiseled bronze bail pulls and a central section covered by fluted doors. The upper and lower case disassemble for easy transport. An outstanding work of functional Art Deco design. Paris, circa 1920.
