Anglo-Indian Bamboo and Lacquered Etagere
late 19th/early 20th century, the superstructure with a pagoda-form crest over a central beveled mirrored cupboard, flanked to either side by bowed open shelves joined by bamboo uprights and a lacquered paneled back to a lower section with a lacquered rectangular top, over a single drawer and a single side cupboard and two tiered open shelves, raised on splayed bamboo legs.
h. 66", w. 25-1/2", d. 16"
Provenance: Private collection, Lafayette and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Estimate $500-800
**The piece is sturdy and functional, with no excessive looseness in its joints. In overall very good condition.
There is some scattered loss to lacquer with scattered inpainting.
Mirrors clear with very minor blemishes. Drawers slide freely.
The interior of the upper cupboard shows a loss to its back, along an edge, about 1-1/2" high by 3/8" wide. That material appears to be papier-mache or Anaglypta.
