Its three glass doors, symmetrical structure, and chevron molding on the central section make it a striking piece, as decorative as it is functional.

materials: solid cherry wood frame and original glass.

features: the display cabinet is composed of three assembled, demountable sections. The central section, slightly narrower than the two side sections, is adorned with a chevron and diamond pattern characteristic of art deco design. Each door is glazed on its upper two-thirds, offering interior visibility while maintaining an elegant simplicity. The entire piece rests on a continuous molded base that unifies the three elements and gives them a monumental silhouette.

restoration: the art deco display cabinet was gently sanded to remove dirt while preserving its patina. It was also washed and waxed. Finally, as the locking mechanism on the two side doors was no longer functional, it was removed and replaced with two sculpted metal handles from the same period. Magnets were installed in the left and right cupboards to ensure they close securely.

dimensions: w150 x d43 x h178 cm.
left and right cupboards: w55 x d33 x h167 cm.
central cupboard: w34 x d35.5 x h167 cm.
