The symmetrical case is executed in richly figured walnut veneer, contrasted by slender ebonized legs and brass detailing. A gently curved glass panel follows the upper profile.

The cabinet opens to reveal a fully fitted bar interior with a mirrored serving area, glass shelving and two integrated drawers reflecting the sophisticated cabinetmaking associated with Italian interiors of the period.

The design is attributed to Paolo Buffa, whose 1940s furniture combined classical references with increasingly modern lines and was frequently executed by specialist Lombard cabinetmakers.

Carefully sourced in Italy and restored in-house at our gallery in Rabat. The cabinet structure and veneer were preserved wherever possible, with wooden surfaces refinished only where required. The ebonized elements, brass details, mirrored interior and glass components were carefully retained and treated. Minor age-related traces remain consistent with the period and are documented in the photographs. Professionally packed for secure international delivery.
