Large 1940s Cabinet Signed by Jules Leleu (ON HOLD)
This important 1940s cabinet by Jules Leleu shows him at the very height of his artistry and skill in constructing the most exceptional furniture of the period. The finely balanced form consists of bevels, sections framed with mouldings, and accented brass banding at the top and bottom of the body of the cabinet, drawing classical lines across the matched grain of the surface.
Glass rods are held in by rounded brass, flattened against each door as if pressed onto the wood, serving as handles, while the feet are shod in scrolled bronze sabots. Inside, there are three shelves with a discreet drawer below the middle shelf, a larger lower section, and on the right door, a small, lightened rectangle where the wood bears the signature of Jules Leleu.
Dimensions:
Height: 68.9 in (175 cm)
Width: 48.04 in (122 cm)
Depth: 19.69 in (50 cm)
