Description from the seller
Refined lacquered bar cabinet in Chinoiserie style – Mid-20th century
Elegant bar cabinet of great visual impact, crafted in sophisticated Chinoiserie style, expression of European decorative taste inspired by Eastern aesthetics.
The piece features a lacquered structure in a deep dark green tone tending toward black, richly embellished with gilt decorations executed with notable care. The front doors depict a delicate Oriental-inspired landscape with traditional figures, pagoda-style architectures, stylized trees, and birds in flight, creating a harmonious and highly decorative composition.
The shaped top, with its characteristic undulating profile, enhances the piece’s elegance, while the base is supported by refined, sinuous legs, finely carved and gilded, giving a light visual feel and a refined formal expression.
Opening the doors reveals an ivory-lacquered interior, luminous and well organized, featuring a central compartment and two practical side drawers. The cabinet is also equipped with internal lighting, activated by a distinctive red push button located inside the structure, a detail that enhances its vintage charm and functionality.
Conditions
The cabinet is in good overall condition, consistent with age and use. There are slight signs of wear, including small superficial scratches and minor wear to the lacquer and gilding, mainly along the edges and in the lower band. Solid and well-preserved structure.
Keys not available. The doors are nevertheless openable and perfectly functional.
