It is composed of three panels whose upper parts are rounded and topped with wood carved in knotted ribbons. They are also embellished with garlands of foliage, suspended and linked together. The middle element, which is larger, is adorned with a Mercury Mirror, while the other two, laterally distributed, are symmetrical. The latter are dressed with original Cannage in perfect condition, as is the Central Ice. The left and right panels are each provided with three generous Chiseled Bronze Coat Hooks for coats, scarves and other clothing or accessories. At the bottom, they offer two storage areas each consisting of five arrow-shaped bars pointing down to the ground. Thanks to the removable Zinc tubs placed in the bottom, the canes and umbrellas can be deposited there even when wet. The unit rests on a wide moulded plinth with a vertically grooved band.
This Cloakroom skillfully combines Modernity, through its natural materials and its trendy color, and Cachet de l'ancien, through its sculptures in particular. Carefully restored, it will be a beautiful transition between exterior and interior, and can transform an ordinary hall into a welcoming entrance. The tone will be set: you will enter a place decorated with taste.

Period: 1900
