Three‑shelf French étagère in wood with bronze fittings and wheels, dating to 1950–1960, measuring 81 cm wide, 75 cm high and 45 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of wear.
Description from the seller
It is a sideboard that breathes that early modernism, still preserving the artisanal elegance of the nineteenth century, but already pointing toward the lightness and sensuality of curved forms. The structure, in dark, warm wood, rises with a wavy rhythm: the sides seem to sketch a small arabesque, as if the piece wished to move on its own. Each shelf features a cut border, almost floral, that softens the geometry and gives it that organic air so characteristic of modernism.
The details in brass — the top caps, the rings that embrace the uprights, the small, bright wheels — provide a luminous contrast, a touch of refinement that underscores the decorative intention without tipping into excess. It is not a utilitarian piece: it’s an object conceived to accompany a bourgeois salon, to move gracefully among sofas and screens, to display glassware or serve liqueurs with a theatrical touch.
The wheels, discreet but well integrated, complete that idea of elegant mobility. They are not mere accessories: they are part of the furniture’s language, its vocation as a living piece, adaptable, always ready to take center stage.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
