Re: Moorish Marquetry Victrola result
I'm not surprised.
L doors are ugly at the best of times, but these look like someone's thrown up all over it lol.
They may be rare, and desirable in some people's eyes, but I guess no bids just shows they had an opening bid that was way too high in the eyes of serious collectors.
Or perhaps it more a case where collectors wives refuse to let anything so atrocious in the house?

Luckily, everyone's taste is different, also everyone's wife's taste 
Aside from the price point, both my wife and I would LOVE a marvel like that in our house. But I also like the L-door design

This is a work of fine art and belongs in a museum. If you had carpentry skills your appreciation of its beauty would help justify the high cost to buy it. Thanks for posting the pictures.
