Description
Vintage brass magazine rack foldable with antique etchings on celluloid, attributed to Maison Bagues, 1940`s ca, French.
This vintage item has been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina and is ready to use.
This Mid-century magazine rack is a good example of a piece described as `Hollywood Regency`. The 18th Century French engravings on the sides portray the Grand Tour of the Regency period. With its Modernist design & Neoclassical scrolling patterns make this design light & elegant. It has of the many features of Maison Bagues, the attributed designer & manufacturer.
This storage is practical while keeping a sense of style. It would make a smart finishing detail to a range of interiors such as Traditional, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Shabby Chic, or Contemporary.
Structurally it is made of solid brass, several parts bolted together. The handle & sides have a scrolling pattern finished with a decorative finial. At the bottom there are slender cabriole feet.
On the inside compartment at the bottom there is a curved solid polished brass surface where the magazines stand. The internal sides are covered with fabric in a pale red tone.
The 2 lateral side panels are fitted at each side in an angle, and suspended in decorative brass brackets. The external sides are fitted with two antique etchings on celluloid. The scenes are:
"View of the village of Mola located on the seaside", general view of the port and the city of Syracuse, drawn by Des Prez, engraved by H Guttemberg.
"Second view of the surroundings of the town of Castro Giovanni", drawn by Claude Louis Chatelet, engraved by Du Parc ( Emmanuel Jean Nepomucène de Ghendt).
Views taken from "The Voyage Pittoresque ou description des Royaume de Naples et de Sicilie" by Richard de Saint-Non (1727-1791), circa 1786.
Each scene is surrounded by a polished solid brass trim.
To close the magazine rack, pull up the handle.
To open, hold & push outwards the 4 round decorative brass bolts.
This magazine rack is in very good vintage condition. The frame is sound & sturdy with no missing parts. The original clear lacquer is present on the brass surfaces. The brass has a warm antique patina developed over the years with some tarnishing, minor rubbing & tiny marks. The celluloid panels are free of cracks & chips. The printed etchings are in very good condition. The fabric inside is in good condition with minor rubbing & minor light marks in line with age.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
