Further, the scalloped backboard’s carved top edge, with its series of gentle, undulating curves that resemble the waves of the sea, plus an inset mirror for sparkle, both add to the impact.
The cabinet features an upper display shelf gallery. The lower portion, with two small drawers, provides storage space concealed by two doors with original wood pulls. It’s only a foot deep and around two feet wide, so why not raise it up on a tabletop as a centerpiece for your bar service. That is, unless you also have an adorable little one who loves to play house. See less
