Louis Majorelle Macassar Ebony Sideboard, Signed

Description
Magnificantly crafted cabinet of bookmatched Macassar ebony veneer, cast bronze hardware, carved mahogany secondary wood, and an intricate Macassar marquetry patchwork with inset abalone. Dating to the late teens early 1920s, this cabinet eschews the organic fluidity of the Classic Art Nouveau designs associated with Majorelle, for a strict rectilinear style softened by the mix of luxurious materials, marking the transition from arts and crafts rigidity to Art Deco extravagance.
