(pair) French Provincial Louis XV style oak bonnetieres, early 20th c., having protruding molded cornice, over single cabinet door on long exterior hinges, with carved scrollwork and rocaille, opening to adjustable-height shelving, rising on short cabriole legs ending on whorl feet, approx 91.75"h, 41.5"w, 23.75"d **Provenance: From the Byram Family's Above Stratford Mansion. John Byram, a prominent Austin-based real estate developer, and his late wife Sally Byram curated this French Provincial style estate with the help of notable architects and interior designers. The home has remained untouched since Sally's untimely passing in 2006, serving as a testament to her taste for sophistication and craftsmanship**

03.18.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2368: I note that both bonnetieres are presently intact and structurally sturdy, with some overall minor panel separation and splits, all appearing to remain structurally stable, some with professional filled reinforcement, each with smoothly operating lock plate, and interior shelving appearing sturdy, please note some of the shelves are later and of a mismatched unfinished pine, I observe evidence of old woodworm commensurate with origin, and typical minor surface wear such as abrasions, small nicks, and sparse minute chips commensurate with age and use
