Ar Deco cabinet-vitrine; c. 1930. Oak wood,... Lot 156

Ar Deco cabinet-vitrine; c. 1930. Oak wood, glass and gilt brass. It has flaws in the upper right area. The handles and part of the keyholes are from a later period. Measurements: 235 x 139.5 x 40 cm. Art Nouveau cabinet-vitrine structured in three markedly differentiated bodies. Although it follows a symmetrical layout, it is a design clearly framed within the Art Deco in its organic tendency, hence the fluidity of the lines, totally protagonists of the design. The latter is a characteristic feature of Art Deco of great originality within the history of art, which had only previously occurred in Rococo, the Auricular style and Celtic art. Structurally, it is worth noting how the layout of the central body is based on the traditional showcase model, in the form of a cabinet with one or two front doors; the side modules, which are lower in height, give the latter greater prominence. The four modules rest on a lower level structured in three rows, with legs that raise the cabinet in height, leaving an empty space between the floor and the beginning of the cabinet that gives it lightness. It has flaws in the upper right area. The handles and part of the keyholes are from a later period.
