A French Blue Mirrored Sideboard by Maison Jansen, Paris c.1940 sub-Fairground-Sideshow & Circus The lengths of the columns

this desirable set is high-end art deco silverware and wouldn’t look out of place on the mad hatters dining table at afternoon tea

In flight their bright chestnut wings and trailing legs are unmistakable

and we like those
