This refined piece of furniture is made up of two glass doors. The lower part of these is full and embellished with a veneer of four pink wood leaves arranged in a butterfly wing. This hectic composition is surrounded by a lemon tree surrounded by mahogany.
Two -thirds of these doors are glazed. We discover a rosewood entourage arranged diagonally accompanied by lemon and mahogany. The top of the doors is slightly rounded. These are dark with an original glass and have three brass hinges. This piece of furniture is provided with a lock in working order with its posterior bronze. Bronze entrances are original. The junction between the doors has an applique seal cover as well as the underside. At the opening we discover four original signs in adjustable sycamore veneer on rack and having slightly blackened songs.
This small library is equipped with cut cloves encrusted with a diagonal wooden marquetry surrounded by a lemon tree. The front of the mahogany foot is also worked diagonal. The slightly protruding base, with a facade cut, is accompanied on each side with a slightly bump dressed in an original bronze. We find a beautiful bronze on the low crosspiece too.
The sides of this piece of furniture are composed in the upper part of a panel in four pink wood sheets arranged in butterflies and a lower part which has the identical of a marquetry surrounded by a net of lemon and mahogany.
This showcase is summoned with an upper mahogany veneer arranged in an open book. The song is in rosewood in a falling thread. The back and bottom of this piece of furniture is in light oak.
Authentic and functional, this small harmonious showcase library, of Parisian quality, benefits from an incredible finesse of realization.
