Bar cabinet / cabinet in fine wood, English manufacture from the Edwardian era (circa 1901–1910), an expression of high craftsmanship attributable to the revisited neoclassical taste typical of the period.
The piece of furniture has a slender structure on high grooved legs, with a quadrangular profile and slightly tapered feet, which give elegance and lightness to the whole. The band underneath the main body houses two side-by-side drawers, framed and equipped with patinated brass ring handles with a floral motif rosette, consistent with the era.
The upper part consists of a body with two hinged doors, embellished with flamed mahogany veneer arranged symmetrically like a book, with light wood perimeter threads that frame the panels and enhance the design. The doors are equipped with a central lock with key.
Internally the cabinet is equipped as a bar/showcase, with glass shelves, mirroring on the bottom and internal cladding in light wood, designed for the display of glassware and liqueur services.
The crowning is underlined by a slightly projecting upper moulding, while the lower crosspiece of the body is connected to the legs via elegant, classically shaped brackets.
The wood, probably solid and veneered mahogany, retains a warm and homogeneous patina, with a polished pad or shellac finish.
State of conservation: very good. Solid structure, original hardware, clean and functional interior.
