Dating from the 1920s, its drinks compartment flips open to reveal, on one side, a stunning interior comprising a complete set of six Baccarat glasses and two Saint Louis crystal decanters, and on the other, a sort of storage compartment. (All the glasses are stamped Baccarat, and the decanters are stamped Saint Louis.) Behind the crystal pieces, the back is beveled mirrored to add depth and elegance to the whole piece. This bar is reminiscent of a bar from the American Prohibition era, cleverly concealing its drinks compartment. Each glass is held securely inside by a precisely fitted space, as are the decanters. Its top is encircled by a beautiful brass gallery. It rests on four tapered legs connected by a circular shelf with a turned gallery. This is a true surprise piece of furniture because from one side, you can't imagine what's hidden inside, but when it turns to the other side, it reveals its magnificent interior. It's a high-quality apartment bar. This transformative piece will add a touch of class to any interior style and is sure to be a great conversation starter. Please note that there is no key. See less
