Pair Of Art Nouveau Bookcases In Light Oak – Ateliers Majorelle, Nancy, Circa 1905

A rare pair of light oak glass-fronted bookcases crafted by the Ateliers Majorelle in Nancy around 1905.

A remarkable example of furniture from the École de Nancy, this pair stands out for its elegant vertical design and its rich carved pine cone decoration, a naturalistic motif characteristic of Art Nouveau.

The upper section is adorned with stylized pinecones, surrounded by radiating geometric motifs. The side panels also feature delicate carving. The set is complemented by beautiful brass handles and hardware, which retain their original character.

Crafted from light oak, the bookcases feature a warm patina that particularly highlights the delicacy of the carved decoration. The fact that they are preserved as a pair lends them a very special decorative and heritage value.

The pair is accompanied by a photograph from the original Ateliers Majorelle catalog, a document that confirms the model’s identification.
