The story

This unique pair of André Arbus attributed corner cabinets is sure to add an element of French neoclassicism chic to any room. It was most probably designed by André Arbus in the early 1940s. The three carved baluster legs are made of solid oak wood, while the upper part forming a cabinet features a beautiful oak butterfly veneer highlighted by a brass frame and a gilt bronze medallion at the center. This is a pair that used to be called Monsieur et Madame, with the left cabinet featuring a Gemini sign medallion, and the right one a Capricorn sign medallion. All the details are a wonderful example of the French neoclassicism of André Arbus. Each cabinet features three oak wood shelves inside. Both pieces have been fully restored and are in an amazing condition.

About André Arbus

André Arbus (1903-1969) was a French decorator, architect and sculptor from Toulouse, trained in his family's cabinetmaking workshop. He became a leading figure of the modern neoclassical style of the 1930s and 1940s, working with parchment, lacquer, fine veneers and gilt bronze, often in collaboration with the sculptor Vadim Androusov. He furnished embassies, ocean liners and official interiors. Collectors prize his pieces for their proportion, refined materials and discreet classical references.
