Elegant art deco bar/dresser/fake mantelpiece. Galerie De Santos

For those of you who are looking for original Art Deco furniture, Voilà! It is a dresser, a bar, a fake mantelpiece altogether.

Its three panels-frontage, entirely etched in cerused lime tree, represents a countryside scenery. In the foreground, we can see trees, one of which is blooming, a deer rubbing its antlers against a tree, a fox pointing because it heard the squirrel eating on a branch. On each side of the scenery, two paths take us out of the woods, revealing an undulating landscape with some trees and grass above which flies a butterfly. These paths lead us to a foothill where a small village consisting of a few dwellings and a church. The purpose of this scenery was probably to make us travel and feel the obvious serenity in the landscape.

The side panels open to a compartment. The center one, surprisingly, opens to a bar covered with mirrors. A light turns on automatically when you pull down the central panel. Underneath, a trompe l’oeil is painted to look like a brick fireplace (original paint).

Like a painting, the facade is framed by a black molding with a wide chamfer and a white groove.

Above it, a white frieze supporting the marble adds some lightness to the piece. This marble top and the baseboard are made in a nice black marble with white veins.

As you can imagine, the proportions, the variety of its multiple functions, and the materials and colors chosen can only have been manufactured by a talented individual.
