About the Item
This 1890s French wooden cello case is a rare and sculptural example of early modernist, almost proto-Cubist design. Crafted from solid wood with faceted planes and sharp geometric angles, it departs strikingly from traditional curved instrument forms, giving the piece a bold architectural presence. Its warm, aged patina and visible joinery highlight the craftsmanship of the period, while the original metal latches and interior supports remain beautifully intact. The case opens to reveal a shaped interior designed to cradle a cello, making it both a functional historical object and a compelling decorative statement. Standing upright, it reads as a sculptural form—ideal for collectors, musicians, or interiors that celebrate unique French design from the turn of the century.
