Mid-century bar sideboard, walnut-veneered with marbled glass

A striking sideboard/bar cabinet of Italian manufacture dating back to the 1950s—an extraordinary example of the Mid-Century decorative style of the era. The piece is distinguished by its rich combination of fine woods and expert craftsmanship: the side doors and the front frame are veneered in exquisite walnut burl—featuring a "butterfly" (book-matched) grain pattern in warm, amber tones—and embellished with delicate central inlaid motifs. The true focal point is the central drop-leaf door, which features a refined black-and-white illustrated panel depicting a period pastoral scene, framed by gold-toned decorative trim. When opened, the drop-leaf reveals an evocative bar compartment entirely lined with panels of marbled and mirrored glass, adorned with etched landscape designs. This is flanked by two spacious side compartments featuring light-wood shelving. The structure—defined by black lacquered profiles and slender, saber-style legs—is topped with a slab of marbled glass in shades of white and gray. The cabinet has been preserved in excellent condition, showing only minor, expected signs of age and use, as illustrated in the photographs. At the time of acquisition, the legs were already secured with screws to ensure structural stability. Free shipping in France, possibility of shipping throughout Europe and worldwide. Ask for a quote.
