Small Mahogany Directory Buffet, Egypt, Late 19th Century

Elegant solid mahogany and mahogany veneer sideboard, topped with a thick Belgian granite marble and fitted with a drawer in the belt. Another drawer of the same size is set back over two small doors, giving a particular appeal to this deep red piece of furniture.
Each of the fronts of this piece of furniture has a horizontal mahogany veneer. The drawers have a bronze cornucopia entrance in the centre, a key and an original working lock. Below, there is a door with a hook and another with an original lock in working order. Note the presence of an adjustable shelf on racks.
On each side of the cabinet there is a tapering pilaster. On the upper part and on the front, bronze caryatid busts stand proudly and feet are placed on the lower part, resting on a wooden square. Finally, a thin plinth surrounds the furniture in the lower part.
This Directoire sideboard will be noticed by its small volume, its style and its rare composition.
