About the Item
Elegant six-tier walnut étagère in the French Provincial taste, featuring turned baluster supports and carved scalloped shelves. The crest and lower apron are detailed with ribbon and foliate rinceau motifs, adding a graceful decorative flourish. Each tier is framed with serpentine edges and delicate molded borders, demonstrating fine craftsmanship and balanced proportions. The piece stands tall and slender, ideal for displaying porcelain, books, or objets d’art.
Dimensions:
84 in. high × 28.5 in. wide × 12.5 in. deep
Condition:
Good/Fair; light edge wear, scattered worming and small surface imperfections typical of age and material. Presents beautifully with warm walnut patina.
Provenance:
From the personal collection of Iris Apfel (1921–2024), renowned style icon, businesswoman, and interior designer celebrated for her eclectic and maximalist approach to interiors. Apfel’s personal aesthetic embraced the pairing of European antiques with global curiosities, and this finely carved étagère reflects her appreciation for sculptural display furniture and classical craftsmanship.
Attribution:
Likely French or Northern Italian, mid-20th century, inspired by 18th-century Provincial forms from Provence and Lombardy. The detailing and execution are consistent with the work of traditional cabinetmaking ateliers producing quality decorative furniture for export in the postwar period.
