Art Deco Rosewood, Walnut & Black-Lacquer Bar Cabinet w/ Porto Marble Top

This elegant Art Deco Rosewood, Walnut & Black-Lacquer Bar Cabinet w/ Porto Marble Top & Bronze Pulls originates in France, circa 1935. The piece presents a gently bowed façade veneered in richly figured rosewood with strong vertical grain and carefully bookmatched panels at the central doors. A high-gloss black-lacquer molding frames the top and base and visually anchors the composition while offering a striking contrast to the warm wood tones. The top is Porto marble with a deep black ground threaded by gold and white veining and is finished with a slightly beveled edge that complements the cabinet's streamlined profile. Hardware is streamlined and machine-age in spirit, with triangular escutcheon plates that rise from the door faces to support swept, nickeled-bronze handles and to reinforce the cabinet's elegant silhouette. The center has a glas display cabinet which opens to a compartmented interior arranged with shelving suitable for service and storage. Construction combines finely applied veneer work, curved-case joinery and lacquered trim that reflect high-quality French Art Deco cabinetry of the 1930s. The overall effect balances sculptural form and practical storage, rendered in luxurious materials and finishes. The piece is in Mint Restored Condition.
