Description
An outstanding exhibition quality thuya-wood breakfront armoire-cabinet in neo-classical style by Parisian cabinet maker Victor Epeaux, circa 1920, the stepped cornice with a central ormolu neo-classical style mount over a pair of doors with multiple cross-banded borders, the lower section inlaid with recumbent winged lions surrounded by trophies of war and the centre of the doors with a gilt bronze escutcheon, flanked by a pair of cupboard doors of tapering architectural form with gilt-bronze lion terms to the top edges and with central inlaid marquetry panels of urns within a foliate cartouche, on a stepped plinth base raised on bun feet. The central section encloses two brass hanging rails (originally it would have contained shelves which could be replaced), both side cupboards retain their original adjustable shelves which have inlaid veneered fronts. The base of the inner section retains the metal makers label 'EPEAUX. MEUBLES-DECORATION 81-83 AVE LEDRU-ROLLIN. PARIS'.
Victor Epeaux was a renowned cabinet maker based in Paris. He was a contemporary of Guimard and his earlier designs are high quality Art Nouveau pieces, very much in the high Parisian manner of Guimard and Marjorelle. He exhibited a number of pieces at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, a suite of which was sold at Sotheby's, New York 'Important Design' sale, December 16th, 2015, Lots 39,40 & 41 and later sold at the New York Armory show for 500,000 USD. His reputation for high quality workmanship and the use of exotic woods and veneers is evident in this cabinet which displays his propensity for including superlative quality bronze castings and fittings.
This is a unique piece and Epeaux's furnishings rarely come up for sale.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
