Literature
Alastair Duncan, Louis Majorelle, Master of Art Nouveau design, éd. Harry N. Abrams Inc., New York, 1991, notamment pp. 3, 9, 13, 25, 33 et 55, pour le dessin de la poignée, et pp. 68, 80, 99 et 111 pour le motif de la poignée sur plusieurs meubles
Condition
Bon état général hormis des trous de vers, quelques un sur le plateau, plus nombreux sur la ceinture du meuble. Léger déssèchement du vernis sur les plateaux. Oxydation légère des sabots en bronze et petites traces de salissure sur la poignée.
Good overall conditions. Expect some wood worm holes to the top and the belt of the piece. Slight drying up of the varnish to the tiers and slight oxidizing to the bronze part, all resulting from age.
