Specialist note

These bookcases are based on those from the celebrated collection of Daisy Fellowes in her Paris residence at 69 Rue de Lille, Paris. The bookcases, possibly by a Bordeaux cabinet-maker, were offered at Sotheby's, Monaco, 3 May 1977, lots 16-17, but were withdrawn from the sale to stay in situ where they remain today in a private collection.
