Petite French Paper Mâché Cabinet in the Manner of Agnès Pottier, 1990s
A petite French paper mâché cabinet from the 1990s, created in the manner of Agnès Pottier.
The cabinet is built with softly rounded edges and a textured painted surface that feels almost geological. Its silhouette is punctuated by abstract architectural details—arched openings, circular cut-outs, and small terracotta accents—that give the piece a distinctly anthropomorphic presence.
A single oak drawer introduces warmth beneath the painted exterior, finished with a formed pull that echoes the cabinet’s whimsical vocabulary. Above, twin doors open to reveal a small interior, making the piece as functional as it is expressive. Every surface carries the subtle irregularities of the maker’s hand, celebrating material over precision.
Though modest in proportion, it commands attention. On a console, bedside table, or pedestal, it reads less as storage and more as a collected work of art—inviting curiosity before revealing its purpose.
