89. The Cane Collector's Bijouterie In Paris born, in fading gaslight years, A cabinet of quiet grace appears. No simple chest, but luxury designed, To house the canne of the discerning mind. Of Mahogany deep, a regal stain, Refined beneath the First Empire's reign. With Fruitwood bands, where light and shade repose, The flair of Louis Seize style flows. An Iron skeleton, both strong and slight, Upholds the vision, classic, clean, and bright. The Bijouterie, a treasure box profound, Where twenty-four fine canes can be stored. Above, the handles rest on velvet soft, A cushioned upper level, raised aloft. Each shaft descends to its allotted slot, A numbered space for what the collector sought. The Beveled Glass, a shimmering, clear pane, Reflects the gleam of gold and polished grain. With sculpted hinge, a delicate lift top lies, Revealing secrets to admiring eyes. A rare accessory, this trove of wood, For those who understand the collector's mood. A pedestal of taste, refined and old, A Louis XVI story, richly told. 41” x 24” x 24”
