R&Y Augousti was founded in 1989 by husband-wife duo Ria & Yiouri Augousti. Their artistic backgrounds brought them together as innovators in their field by reviving the artisanal techniques of shagreen and other exotic materials that were predominant in the Art Deco period of the 1930s.

The top rear right corner with shallow indent and lighter coloration; some seams with very minor veneer lifting; overall good presentation.
