Art Deco Cabinet with 3 Face and 2 Side Doors

The veneer does most of the talking, and it has plenty to say.

This Art Deco cabinet with three face doors and two side doors dates to the early 20th century. It is built of burlwood veneer, glass panel and wood solids. Art Deco cabinets like this were made for well-furnished homes, to store and show glassware, books or clothing behind figured veneers. Burl grain swirls in matched ovals across the outer doors, with a tall glass door between them. Small black fittings mark the edges, the top steps up at the center, and the corners are clipped above blocky feet. Sixty-four inches long and fifty-five high.

Trees rarely get this kind of billing.
