A vintage French home made hanging corner shelf made from about 50 old cotton reels and reclaimed parts of other furniture. Mrs EVE loves it! Mr EVE hates it! If you have heard of bobbin style furniture this is the real deal! Made from old cotton reels and parts reclaimed from other old furniture. The shelves are home made hardboard and it’s finished off with some decorative traditionally dressed French ladies heads from different regions of France. Somebody had some fun putting this together. Silver trim to the front of the shelves which is starting to come unstuck. See further notes on condition below.
