A simple carved ascending beading detail is repeated around the frame. The doors have working keys that fit the bronze escutcheons with beautiful mirrored butterfly design.

The cabinet interior features a pigeon hole unit with shaped dividers, the front facings in satinwood and boxwood stringing. This interior is mobile, sliding up and down and held in two different positions, as shown. Probably originally used to hold sheet music. Georges de Bardyere, (1883 -1942) was a French decorator and furniture designer. By 1912 he had become established as a designer in the "modern" classical style - similar to Leon Jallot - with what we would come to know as early Art Deco. At this time, Art Deco was a very new type of decorative art. Bardyere was involved in a major exhibition in 1914, but this had to be put on hold until after World War I, pushing the showcase of Art Deco back for various reasons until 1925. Bardyere was fond of vegetal forms and did his own sculpting, as demonstrated on this cabinet. His work was shown at the Salons of the Societe des Artistes Decorator and, from 1921, at Salon d'Automne. Additional dimensions information: The two door cupboard is 30cm deep, the pigeon hole heights are 45cm x 9.5cm wide. There is 25cm in height above and below the pigeon hole compartment (photograph number 12) and when lowered they is 51cm height above the pigeon hole compartment.
