Two-door buffet in solid elm from Maison Regain, c. 1970.

French work, c.1970. H 90 X W 133 X D 52 cm. Solid elm. Very good condition. The façades are made up of vertical slats of solid elm set within a wide frame; the handles, two half-moons carved from the solid, meet in the centre. The case rests on four square posts that clearly lift it off the ground. Maison Regain, established in the Hautes-Alpes, produced solid elm furniture with horizontal lines and softened edges from the 1960s to the 1980s, entrusted to French workshops rather than manufactured in a single factory. With the graphiosis having wiped out elm from French forests by the late 1970s, the collection is now closed. Interior with a shelf and two drawers. The whole has been fully restored.
