Claridge display cabinet antique gold

210 cm high for 100 cm wide, an open shelf occupies a wall. But this one does something more: it the structure. The Display Cabinet Claridge Library in ancient gold finish belongs to this rare category of design storage furniture that do not need to be filled to visually exist. Its aging gold lacquered iron structure, with these rounded amounts at the angles found on the coffee table in the same collection, gives the whole an immediately identifiable character. Four 46 cm high-height safety glass shelves, plus 3 cm clearance behind the edge, so that the objects laid have air and the light passes through. The upper tray is reversible, travertine ceramic on one side, glass of the other, like a wink at the Claridge coffee table. 92 kg on the scale, made by hand, delivered without assembly to do oneself. A high-end living room or dining room one time, and who redefines the wall he dresses.

A design that immediately attracts the look

What strikes first is the apparent lightness of the structure. At 92 kg, we do not expect a piece of furniture that seems also air. And yet: the annoyed gold lacquered iron uprights are fine, the safety glass shelves are transparent, and the whole gives the light from side to side. Seen from the bottom of a room, the Claridge library almost looks like a line drawing against the wall, an aged gold linear composition that frames space without stifling it. Closely, the details tell something else: the rounded angles of the uprights, the quality of the safety glass, the golden finish that is not uniform but slightly patinated, with these variations of hue that reminiscent of the metal worked by hand rather than the industrial lacquer. The reversible upper tray is a design detail that we appreciate more living with the piece of furniture by looking at it. Travertine ceramics for a warm and natural atmosphere, glass for something more graphic and more contemporary. Two readings of the same furniture, according to the mood and the evolution of the interior.

Why choose this model for your interior?

• 210 cm in height to dress up an entire wall: At this height, the Claridge Library is not content to store. It structurally structures the space, creates a line of force that gives rise to the room and visually organize everything that surrounds it.
• Transparent Security Glass Shelves: The transparency of the trays lets the light pass and avoid the mass effect that are often criticized at the large libraries. The objects placed on a visually float, which changes everything to the way the furniture is perceived in space.
• A upper tray reversible ceramic / glass: the same principle as on the coffee table of the collection. Two finishes available in a single piece of furniture, to adapt the atmosphere of the summary tray without changing the library.
• An antique gold lacquered iron structure made by hand: The aged gold finish is not an effect of paint applied to the chain. It carries in it the slight irregularities of artisanal work, these variations of hue that make no part is strictly identical to another.
• 46 cm high by shelf, plus 3 cm of clearance: A generosity of height that makes it possible to place decorative objects of actual size, sculptures, a4-size books, medium height vases, without ever having to choose between what we want to show and what the furniture can accommodate.

In which room install this library?

The living room is its favorite space, but not the cluttered living room. The one with at least one wall released 110 cm minimum, ideally more, so that the breathes library and the gold finish has been legible for several angles. This works particularly well, it is not to fulfill it evenly: alternating empty areas and inhabited areas, let some almost free shelves with just an object or two, and reserve the shelves most accessible to books or parts that we really use. The antique gold finish naturally with sand tones, linen, natural wood and ceramic. It is less good with the interiors very saturated in color or the very industrial atmospheres: its character is hot, almost big hotel, and it needs an environment that leaves it this latitude. In a dining room, placed against a wall facing the table, it can also work very well as a presentation cabinet, with decorative dishes, carafes, objects chosen for their shape as well as for their use.

An ideal choice for an affirmed decoration

An open library, we find everywhere. An ancient open gold lacquered library with safety glass shelves and reversible ceramic-glass tray, made by hand, 210 cm high: it's much rarer. The Ancient Gold Claridge belongs to this category of furniture that is described as signing parts without really knowing why, until we understand that it is simply because they have a character that most storage furniture do not have. Its patinated golden finish does not stand out because it does not follow a trend: it is part of a long tradition of the metal worked by hand, that of the big hotels, artisanal workshops, interiors who assume a certain idea of discreet luxury. In ten years, this library will have more presence than today, because quality lacquered quality takes character with time. This is the exact reverse of large distribution furniture that age badly and that we end up hiding rather than show.
