Circa 1930’s, France
Unique cabinet, likely a
custom commission for a horse lover.
Carved Equestrian Plaque on Center TV Cabinet acts as a subtle door pull,
with a routed finger pull under the right side. The cabinet rests on a very
elegant
plinth style base with triple carved center scrolls, much in the style of
Ruhlmann.
This may actually be a Ruhlmann design, we are currently researching this.
