The front and side finishes showcase a spectacular burl veneer, characterized by symmetrical grain patterns and a pronounced warm grain, typical of cabinetmakers of the era.

It features the classic curved lines of the Art Deco period, with exquisitely rounded corners and a protruding central column that serves as a door hinge.

It rests on a solid, glossy black ebonized base, creating a striking contrast with the honey-reddish tone of the wood. The ring handles are made of the original burnished brass.

Similar pieces were originally placed in stately bedrooms as wardrobes, but today they are highly sought-after as unique modern antiques, ideal for repurposing in the living room as storage units or elegant bar cabinets. See less
