French Art Deco Oak Architect’s Cabinet with Gold Leaf Handles
French Art Deco Oak Architect’s Cabinet with Gold Leaf Handles
A very unusual and handsome French Art Deco architect’s cabinet in oak, designed with strong architectural presence and distinctive gold leaf pole style handles. The cabinet was originally conceived for the storage of drawings, plans, posters, or other long vertical materials, with side compartments that pull outward to reveal additional storage.
The piece has a striking and highly functional design. The main cabinet measures approximately 73 inches wide, or 81 inches wide including the handles, 50 inches tall, and 16 inches deep. When fully opened, the exterior side compartments extend approximately 20 inches on each side. The front interior storage area measures approximately 38 inches by 38 inches.
Beyond its original use as an architect’s cabinet, this piece could also work beautifully as a wine storage cabinet in a dining room or as a refined stereo and media cabinet with modification to the cubby storage. The round gold leaf handles are primarily decorative, while the side access provides the functional storage. A rare and impressive French Art Deco cabinet with exceptional character and versatility.
