Vitrine Art déco en bubinga à médaillon ajouré, vers 1920

Le bois parle d'abord, un brun rouge profond que parcourent des moirures et des flammes plus sombres, surtout sur le panneau du bas où le fil ondoie comme une eau. Au-dessus, la vitrine s'allège en verre sur trois faces, avec une tablette et un dessus de verre qui laissent passer le jour. Les montants arrondis descendent en pieds fuselés. Au centre du soubassement, un médaillon argenté, ajouré de cercles, apporte au meuble sa seule note de métal.

Le bubinga, ou Guibourtia, vient d'Afrique équatoriale, et son bois brun rougeâtre à reflets d'acajou est employé en ébénisterie de luxe, en marqueterie et en lutherie. L'Art déco, né à Paris dans les années 1910, tire son nom de l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs de 1925 et affectionne les essences exotiques comme les formes géométriques. Datée vers 1920, cette vitrine se place entre ces deux repères. La galerie la dit en bois massif, sans préciser si le bubinga est employé en placage, et ne cite aucun ébéniste.

Read in English

The wood speaks first, a deep reddish brown crossed by moiré and darker flames, above all on the lower panel where the grain ripples like water. Above, the cabinet lightens into glass on three sides, with a shelf and a glass top that let the daylight through. The rounded uprights descend into tapering legs. At the centre of the base, a silvered medallion pierced with circles brings the only note of metal to the piece.

Bubinga, or Guibourtia, comes from equatorial Africa, and its reddish-brown wood with mahogany reflections is used in luxury cabinetmaking, marquetry and instrument making. Art Deco, born in Paris in the 1910s, takes its name from the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts of 1925 and favours exotic woods as much as geometric forms. Dated around 1920, this cabinet sits between those two markers. The gallery describes it as solid wood, without saying whether the bubinga is used as veneer, and names no cabinetmaker.
