Item Details
Description

On a pierced fretwork apron and shaped bracket feet.

Provenance: From the Estate of Horst Rechelbacher, Osceola, Wisconsin.

Horst Rechelbacher, the founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer in the field of safe and eco-friendly cosmetics. The same curiosity that led him to explore ways to improve the beauty industry led him to travel the world, collecting rare and beautiful objects as he went.

Height: 61 in x width: 38 1/2 in x depth: 16 in.
Condition
The cabinet is in good condition overall. The structure is stable and sturdy. There are no major losses and no visible repairs. The locking mechanism has been removed. The dragon is present but unattached. The drawer and door open and close smoothly. The glass is in good condition, with no chips, cracks, or scratches. Some wear to the velvet. Some wear and splitting to the veneer along the shelves; the bottom shelf shows signs of moisture exposure. Wear throughout as expected with age and use.
