Casse grain - cassegrain - Glazed display frame - Elm, Ebony, Satinwood - Cassegrain table frame

Masterpiece of art cabinetmaking by the famous Cassegrain House, Paris (422, rue Saint-Honoré).
A rare opportunity to acquire an emblematic piece of high stationery and Parisian art de vivre from the 20th century. This beveled table frame is no longer produced today and the historic house has permanently closed its doors, making this complete specimen a true showroom and collection item.
Exceptional marquetry: Beveled frame in lacewood veneer with a precious, warm, and highly graphic aesthetic (tortured grain with natural “eyes”).
Fine inlay work: Delicate geometric checkerboard frieze hand-made on the edge, assembling contrasting precious wood species (citronnier and ebony).
Haute Couture finishes: The easel back is fully lined with fauve-colored suede and marked with the official Cassegrain brand foil stamp.
Condition: Exceptional – New Old Stock. The object has never been used. Note a very slight and superb natural patina (lighter/yellow-green shade) on the varnish of the lower part, testament to its age and authenticity.
Original complete case: Sold with its original dark blue, gold-hot monogrammed cardboard box and its original tissue paper stamped with the brand logo.
