Showcase of bright Art Deco curiosities

Small showcase of vintage curiosities carved in oak, to pose, for an ambient light that highlights decorative and collectible objects Can be exposed as a side table in a dark corner, or in height, on a piece of furniture, for beautiful effects of shadow and light, while playing with volumes A small piece of furniture with a great experience: long stored in an old tango dance room (you can still see a trace of glass on the top tray), this showcase had been completely stripped and sanded, then varnished before being, since then, maintained with beeswax The 4 remaining wooden rods that hold the glass of the door inside (one is missing, see photo) were no longer fixed: they had been re-rented and reinforced with wood putty justifying the slight variations in shades when opening the door (very little visible once closed). The 4th of the top (photo 6) is no longer really maintained. However, the glass remains perfectly fixed in the door. The 3 beveled windows are original, as well as the brass handle and its closing mechanism Mirror in the bottom and bottom, slightly chipped intermediate glass plate on the edge (see photo) You have to force a little to close the door, but a little trick found over time: slightly lift the door by its handle to close it more delicately! The wooden plate below was already there, but it will probably have been added later The original lighting was absent when it was acquired, but we can still observe the hole drilled on the side, as well as two other small ones, which were probably used to fix the connection to the plate that supported the socket Here, it is the choice of a more discreet and efficient lighting from above, with a led headband (easily replaceable) with integrated socket and switch, simply to avoid further damaging the wood: a small slot (old, probably original) allowed to slide the headband inside Note: 4 ptfe pads are screwed to the bottom plate, which are easy to remove I remain available to your questions
