A refined and authentic piece of Italian furniture from the 1930s:
a storage cabinet/bar in full Art Deco style.
This piece perfectly embodies the geometric taste and formal research of the modernist period, combining fine materials and high-quality craftsmanship.
The structure is entirely veneered in walnut, showcasing a splendid and warm natural flamed grain on the top and sides.
The truly distinctive element of the piece is the front, featuring two vertical doors decorated with a fluted pleat motif (accordion-like workmanship) very popular in the 1930s.
The doors open with the original burnished metal handles and reveal a clean and tidy interior, divided by a shelf.
The body rests on four tall, curved, contoured legs, elegantly lacquered in black, which create a strong color contrast and elongate the piece, lightening its visual impact.
Originally designed as a living room sideboard (for records, liquor, or documents), it is now an eclectic modernist piece, perfect as an entryway piece, a sophisticated bar cabinet, or an accent piece in a contemporary living room.
The piece is in good vintage structural condition, solid, intact, and stable, with a beautiful vintage patina due to its nearly one hundred years of history.
There is some wear and tear, along with widespread but slight losses of the black paint along the contoured edge of the top and on the upper joints of the arched legs.
Small surface scratches from use and slight signs of aging on the sharp edges and the lower edge of the doors.
The original interior is well preserved, with no structural changes.
Dimensions: height 85 cm, maximum width 53 cm, maximum depth 30 cm.
