bagerap Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 One of my other manias. This picture was on a Deco Facebook forum with no other info except 1930s. I love it but probably wouldn't want to put my goodies in there.http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/uu165/bagerap/cabinet_zpsvmh5ineb.jpg Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Wow. Love a bit of art deco, the MOP inserts are amazing running down the side. So what's it made of, mahogany? Edited December 23, 2015 by Nordle11 Quote
bagerap Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Sadly, there's cock all info, just a picture. But you're living in my favourite city where Nouveau and Deco run seamlessly into each other. Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Like you wouldn't believe, and the area I live in is the gothic quarter which is by far my favourite area of the city. There are buildings on my street that still have pock marks from artilery peppered across the faces, it's truly an amazing city Quote
bagerap Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 I know the barrio very well, lived there 50 years ago. 1 Quote
Stuntman Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Very pretty, I like it too. And I loved my citybreak in Barcelona about 9 years ago now, although I was mostly looking at the Gaudi architecture and the Picasso museum. Quote

bagerap Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Listed as a coin cabinet, but I'm still trying to get details. Quote
Rob Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 How big is it? The trays look to be too deep for coins unless the whole thing is little bigger than a metronome. Quote
1949threepence Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Love art deco, and that is a very nice object. Quote

bagerap Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 "So a tad early for actual art deco" this piece, yes. But history repeats itself an the Egyptian theme was around in the twenties & thirties, so I can see how it came to appear on my forum. Napoleon eh? Great piece of research there Mr. G 1 Quote
