Italian Art Deco Bar Cabinet in Red Stained Walnut, Brass and Mirrored Glass

Bar cabinet, red stained walnut, brass, mirrored glass, Italy, 1940s

This Italian bar cabinet from the 1940s is defined by its rounded shape and finely ribbed exterior. Executed in red stained walnut, its restrained façade gives little indication of the elaborate interior concealed within.

Once opened, an entire world unfolds. Mirrored glass, brass galleries, rails and fittings create a rich play of reflections, revealing the remarkable quality and attention to detail. Even the curved upper section opens, adding another unexpected element to the design. The interior includes drawers and movable shelves, allowing glassware and bottles to be arranged as desired. Raised on six slender fluted legs, this highly decorative and photogenic cabinet is full of charm and surprises.
