Art Deco Entertaining Bar Cabinet

Swanky Entertaining Cabinet. Perfectly fits glassware on the shelves. And just think if you added a couple of shelves of the left side to store-display liquor bottles & shelf at the bottom for wine storage.
PRICE: $625
T: 4FT x D:16" x W:29"

I was told that the wood is "Exotic".  This looks like a one-of-a-kind piece even back in it's day.  I imagine it was made by a woodworking artisan seeing how detailed the woodgraining is along with the creativity that went into the piece using off-set hardware on the front and the art-deco styled design down the front doors.

The doors open to display a neoclassic angel design from Robert Adams (neoclassic architect)

The hardware is all original to this piece.  It does have a locking mechanism but is missing its key.


I found that it was easier to strip the entire piece & when I did I found that the top had alot of detail & character. Even though it had a little veneer chipping it was still too lovely to paint over.

When I stripped the wood it was stunning!  The old dull varnish hid all the beauty of this piece and found to have two tones of wood.
I think it evokes that of a Beidermeier Style in Color.  In spite of being a Vintage piece I think it turned out to be Sexy, Sleek & Masculine in its design & colors.
