A fine French Art Deco amboyna burl wood cabinet designed by Georges De Bardyère. Signed - Circa 1920.
This superb cabinet features a vegetal decorated medallion to each door, hand carved by Bardyere himself. One is signed.
The cabinet is veneered in decorative amboyna burl wood and has a solid (Honduran) mahogany frame. It is topped by a showcase glass bevelled-door cabinet with internal glass shelf, with fine reeded and carved columns to each side. 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.
Overall in very good original condition, the cabinet has been cleaned and waxed. There are a few light signs of use around the cabinet.
The cabinet interior features a pigeon hole unit with shaped dividers, the front facings in satinwood and ebony 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.
