Table frame in wood, estimated period 1990–2000.
Description from the seller
Masterpiece of art cabinetmaking by the famous Maison Cassegrain, Paris (422, rue Saint-Honoré).
A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic piece of luxury stationery and Parisian art of living from the 20th century. This bevel-edged table frame is no longer produced today, and the historic house has permanently closed its doors, making this complete specimen a genuine showpiece and collectible.
Exceptional marquetry: Bevel-edged frame in oval veneer with a precious, warm, and highly graphic aesthetic (tortured grain with natural “eyes”).
Fine inlay work: Delicate geometric damier frieze handcrafted on the border, assembling contrasting precious woods (citronnier and ebony).
Haute Couture finishes: The easel back is fully clad in tawny suede, hot-stamped with the official signature of Maison Cassegrain.
Condition: Exceptional – New Old Stock. The item has never been used. Note, a very slight and superb natural patina (lighter/yellow-green hue) on the lower varnish, bearing witness to its age and authenticity.
Original complete case: Sold with its original deep blue monogrammed cardboard box and its original tissue paper stamped with the brand logo.
