Walnut Sideboard, Art Nouveau – 1900

This superb walnut sideboard, dating from 1900, is a remarkable example of Art Nouveau. It opens with a belt of two drawers adorned with iron handles, decorated with leaf and fruit motifs. A central lock with simultaneous locking, accompanied by an Art Nouveau-style iron entry, ensures the security of the drawers. The two moulded doors, darkened with panels of walnut burl and equipped with iron corner brackets, open thanks to an original lock at the top and bottom. Below, a closed shelf offers additional storage space. The uprights, generously moulded with decorations of apples and asymmetrical fluting, end in slightly flared straight feet. The upper part of the piece is adorned with a mercury mirror, surmounted by a shelf resting on two openwork consoles. The whole is crowned by a pediment flanked by three panels of walnut burl and an imposing moulded element, decorated with fruit and leaf motifs. Part of a living room set, this intricately crafted piece is the perfect illustration of the Art Nouveau style. ******** Period: 1900. Excellent condition. Waxed finish.
