Vintage octagonal bar cabinet in wood and marquetry.
Vintage octagonal bar cabinet, probably dating from the early 20th century, featuring an elegant front with arch-shaped molded panels adorned with fine floral marquetry and original gilded brass handles. Made of solid wood with beautiful visible grain in warm tones reminiscent of mahogany or walnut, it stands out for its ingenious storage system, which includes a large hinged lid and a removable top tray. Its original format and careful finish make it a character piece ideal for enhancing a living room or library corner. Condition: The furniture is sound, stable, and fully functional, with hinges and openings operating smoothly. The wood retains a very nice original patina, marked only by a few superficial micro-scratches from use and discreet variations in varnish consistent with its age. These slight signs of time testify to its authenticity and preserve all the charm of its cabinetry.
