Description
Vintage brass magazine rack foldable with antique etchings on celluloid, attributed to Maison Bagues, 1940`s ca, French.
This vintage item has been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina and is ready to use.
This Mid-century magazine rack is a good example of a piece described as `Hollywood Regency`. The 18th Century French engravings on the sides portray the Grand Tour of the Regency period. With its Modernist design & Neoclassical scrolling patterns make this design light & elegant. It has of the many features of Maison Bagues, the attributed designer & manufacturer.
This storage is practical while keeping a sense of style. It would make a smart finishing detail to a range of interiors such as Traditional, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Shabby Chic, or Contemporary.
Structurally it is made of solid brass, several parts bolted together. The handle & sides have a scrolling pattern finished with a decorative finial. At the bottom there are slender cabriole feet.
On the inside compartment at the bottom there is a curved solid polished brass surface where the magazines stand. The internal sides are covered with fabric in a pale red tone.
The 2 lateral side panels are fitted at each side in an angle, and suspended in decorative brass brackets. The external sides are fitted with two antique etchings on celluloid. The scenes are:
"View of the village of Mola located on the seaside", general view of the port and the city of Syracuse, drawn by Des Prez, engraved by H Guttemberg.
"Second view of the surroundings of the town of Castro Giovanni", drawn by Claude Louis Chatelet, engraved by Du Parc ( Emmanuel Jean Nepomucène de Ghendt).
Views taken from "The Voyage Pittoresque ou description des Royaume de Naples et de Sicilie" by Richard de Saint-Non (1727-1791), circa 1786.
Each scene is surrounded by a polished solid brass trim.
To close the magazine rack, pull up the handle.
To open, hold & push outwards the 4 round decorative brass bolts.
This magazine rack is in very good vintage condition. The frame is sound & sturdy with no missing parts. The original clear lacquer is present on the brass surfaces. The brass has a warm antique patina developed over the years with some tarnishing, minor rubbing & tiny marks. The celluloid panels are free of cracks & chips. The printed etchings are in very good condition. The fabric inside is in good condition with minor rubbing & minor light marks in line with age.

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.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
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.
