Description from the seller

Italian Mid-Century Modern bar with rosewood veneer, chromed steel base and working Electrolux fridge (ca. 1965–1970)

Exceptional and rare Italian mid-century modern bar cabinet, produced circa 1965–1970, executed in beautifully grained rosewood veneer (palissander) and resting on a refined chromed steel frame.

This elegant bar combines architectural lines with high-end craftsmanship typical of Lombard workshops (Cantù / Brianza region), an area renowned for luxury furniture production in the post-war period.

The bar features a lift-up top revealing a fully fitted interior with shelves and integrated interior lighting. Behind the right-hand door, the bar houses an original Electrolux minibar refrigerator (model 50FMJ), which is fully functional. Both the refrigerator and the interior cabinet light are in working condition.

The rear panel is fully finished and ventilated, allowing the piece to be placed freely in a room as a room divider — a highly desirable and rare feature.

Technical & provenance details
• Refrigerator: Electrolux 50FMJ (Italy, c. 1964–1969) – working
• Lock hardware: RALY (Italy)
• Electrical components: Kochophon (Germany), commonly used in Italian furniture of the 1960s
• Interior lighting: functional

These elements confirm Italian manufacture and date the bar firmly to the mid-to-late 1960s.

Condition
Very good vintage condition.
Minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Wood veneer shows a beautiful patina with rich grain.
Chrome frame in good condition with light age-related marks.
Refrigerator and cabinet lighting are fully functional.
