Anyone for Art Deco?

One of my other manias. This picture was on a Deco Facebook forum with no other info except 1930s. I love it but probably wouldn't want to put my goodies in there.

Wow. Love a bit of art deco, the MOP inserts are amazing running down the side. So what's it made of, mahogany?

Sadly, there's cock all info, just a picture. But you're living in my favourite city where Nouveau and Deco run seamlessly into each other.

Like you wouldn't believe, and the area I live in is the gothic quarter which is by far my favourite area of the city. There are buildings on my street that still have pock marks from artilery peppered across the faces, it's truly an amazing city

I know the barrio very well, lived there 50 years ago.

Very pretty, I like it too.  And I loved my citybreak in Barcelona about 9 years ago now, although I was mostly looking at the Gaudi architecture and the Picasso museum.

Is it for coins or just a Set of drawers, either way it's a cracking piece of furniture.

Listed as a coin cabinet, but I'm still trying to get details.

How big is it? The trays look to be too deep for coins unless the whole thing is little bigger than a metronome.

So a tad early for actual art deco

"So a tad early for actual art deco" this piece, yes. But history repeats itself an the Egyptian theme was around in the twenties & thirties, so I can see how it came to appear on my forum. 

Napoleon eh? Great piece of research there Mr. G
