S. Berliss Cabinet Makers was a high-end London cabinet maker during the early-to-mid 20th century best known for producing high-quality bespoke cocktail bars, china hutches, and liquor cabinets combining classic 18th-century English silhouettes with decorative Asian-inspired elements. Pieces carrying the original "S. Berliss, London" maker's mark typically date from the 1930s to the 1950s. Furniture designs heavily leaned toward the Chinoiserie and Art Deco styles popular in Britain at that time. See less
