Casse grain - cassegrain - Frame - Elm, Ebony, Satinwood - Cassegrain table frame

Masterpiece of artistic cabinetry by the famous Maison Cassegrain, Paris (422, rue Saint-Honoré).
A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic piece of haute papeterie and Parisian lifestyle art of the 20th century. This beveled table frame is no longer produced today, and the historic house has permanently closed its doors, making this complete example a true showpiece and collectible.
Exceptional marquetry: Beveled frame in burr elm veneer with a precious, warm, and highly graphic aesthetic (tortured grain with natural "eyes").
Fine inlay work: Delicate geometric checkerboard border inlay handcrafted on the rim, combining contrasting precious woods (citronnier and ebony).
Haute Couture Finishes: The easel back is fully clad in tawny suede fabric, stamped with the gilded seal of the official Cassegrain signature.
Condition: Exceptional – New Old Stock. The piece has never been used. Note a very light and superb natural patina (slightly lighter/yellow-green) on the varnish of the underside, bearing witness to its age and authenticity.
Original complete presentation: Sold with its original midnight blue, gold-hot monogrammed carton case as well as its original tissue paper stamped with the brand logo.
