A Victor Raulin Louis XVI-style encoignure
Late 19th century; Paris, France
Impressed to the top: Raulin
The corner cabinet with single drawer over a locking glazed door revealing three interior shelves, surmounted by a rouge marble top and finished with gilt-bronze mounts and satinwood inlay
38" H x 27.5" W x 17.25" D

Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. Scattered areas of loss and chipping to the veneer throughout, primarily concentrated to the interior shelving and the verso. As well, much of the gilt bronze mounts are loose and separating from the wood to which they are mounted. The wood lining the lower interior of the cabinet glazing has broken into several pieces and appears to be re-adhered. Both keys accompany the lot, one for the cabinet and one for the drawer. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
