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 with high-quality artisan details.
The structure is entirely veneered in walnut wood, which showcases a splendid warm natural flame grain on the top and sides.
The true distinctive element of the furniture is the front, characterized by two vertical doors decorated with a pleated, grooved pattern (accordion work) that was very popular in the 1930s.
The doors open via the original darkened metal handles and reveal a clean, intact interior divided by a shelf.
The body rests on four tall curved and shaped legs, elegantly lacquered in black, creating a strong color contrast and elongating the silhouette of the piece, lightening its visual impact.
Originally born as a living-room service cabinet (disc player, liqueurs, or documents), it is today an eclectic modernist piece, perfect as an entryway cabinet, a sought-after bar cabinet, or an accent piece in a contemporary living room.
The cabinet is presented in good vintage structural condition, solid, intact and stable, with a beautiful patina of its era due to its almost hundred years of history.
Presence of wear and widespread but light losses of the black varnish along the contoured edge of the upper top and at the upper joints of the curved legs.
Small superficial scratches from use and slight signs of wear on the sharp edges and the lower edge of the doors.
Original interior compartment well preserved, without structural modifications.
Dimensions: height 85 cm, maximum width 53 cm, maximum depth 30 cm.

Shipping costs include packaging costs.
Upon request, an authenticity certificate can be provided.
