Antique Art Deco Italian storage cabinet dating to 1930–1940, walnut veneer with black lacquer, 85 cm high, 53 cm wide, 30 cm deep, in good vintage condition with minor wear.
Description from the seller
Refined and authentic piece of Italian furniture from the 1930s: a storage cabinet/mobile bar in full Art Deco style.
This piece perfectly embodies the geometric taste and formal research of the modernist period, combining precious materials and high-quality artisanal details.
The structure is entirely veneered in walnut wood, showcasing a splendid warm natural flame grain on the top and sides.
The true distinctive element of the piece is the front, characterized by two vertical doors decorated with a pleated, grooved pattern (accordion-like work) very fashionable in the 1930s.
The doors open with the original burnished metal handles and reveal a healthy and clean inner cavity, divided by a shelf.
The body rests on four tall, arched and shaped legs, elegantly lacquered in black, creating a strong color contrast and elongating the furniture’s silhouette, lightening its visual impact.
Originally born as a living room service cabinet (sound-record player stand, liquors, or documents), today it is an eclectic modernia piece, perfect as an entryway cabinet, a sought-after bar, or a standout piece in a contemporary living room.
The cabinet presents itself in good vintage structural condition, solid, intact and stable, with a beautiful patina of age due to its nearly one hundred years of history.
Presence of wear and widespread but light losses of the black varnish along the shaped edge of the upper top and on the upper joints of the arched legs.
Small superficial scratches from use and subtle signs of time on the sharp edges and the lower edge of the doors.
Original inner cavity well preserved, without structural modifications.
Measurements: height 85 cm, maximum width 53 cm, maximum depth 30 cm.

Shipping costs include the packaging cost.
On request, an authenticity certificate can be attached.
