This exceptional piece, signed by Luigi Scremin with a leather engraving at the top, is a rare creation originally made as a one-of-a-kind for Scremin's showrooms, further authenticated by an attached documented publication.

The design of the bar cabinet evokes the shape of a medieval casket or tower, exuding grandeur and mystery. The front is embellished with a stunning copper-embossed bas-relief sculpture by renowned artist Primo Bidischini, depicting a commander in minute detail, complete with helmet and uniform. This artistic element elevates the cabinet to a work of art elegance and importance.

The interior is equally remarkable. Accessible through a flap door that opens with a key, the cabinet reveals a copper-lined interior with a carved copper bottle tray. This luxurious interior is a demonstration of impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, offering functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The exterior is upholstered in immaculate white leather or parchment, giving the cabinet a refined and luxurious appearance. The curved sides, made of elegantly polished wood, add to its sophistication. The top of the cabinet is surrounded by brass accents designed to resemble the battlements of a medieval tower, reinforcing its chest design. The entire piece rests on beautifully carved geometric legs, enhancing its architectural elegance. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
