Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

The exoskeleton bureau I recently sold appeared on a design show I was watching on Homeworthy YouTube for designer Katie Curtis Designer William Hinn had a shop on Madison Ave and made limited pieces of the exoskeleton bureau. Katie Curtis found hers in the basement laundry room of a building she lived in. It was covered with painted and in bad condition. She convinced the super to sell to her for $50.

All switches/buttons and the mechanism at the rear seem to be in good place.  The front sideparts open nicely, revealing beautiful showing photos of Actresses possibly of Norma Shearer, Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow or Evelyn Brent.  It measures approx 4" tall x 5" wide on the clock. The base is 6.75" wide x 1.5" deep .
