Антикварная этажерка в стиле Виардо

This antique asymmetrical bookcase was created at the intersection of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the style of "Japaneseism" or "Oriental style", the founder of which was considered to be the French furniture maker Gabriel Viardot. A perfect combination of oriental motifs and European design solutions. The interestingly shaped shelves with carved friezes on the bottom resemble the roofs of classical Buddhist pagodas. The legs and ornamentation refer to the best examples of Chinese furniture. The facade of the drawer is inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The interior of the cabinet is decorated with soft velvet.
