French Art Deco Console Cabinet with 4 Doors

Four doors of walnut, and the grain is doing all the talking.

This Art Deco console cabinet with 4 doors comes from France and dates to the early 20th century, in walnut veneer with brass mounts. Art Deco takes its name from a 1925 Paris exhibition, and low cabinets like this stored china, linen and silver in the dining rooms of well-off households. The veneer swirls in mirrored flames across the doors, framed by lighter strips. Brass ring pulls sit at the inner edges. Carved pine cones cluster at the center post and upper corners, and the apron curves gently above flared feet. Eighty-nine inches long, 22.75 deep, 39.75 high.

A good deal of tree went into looking this calm.
