Carved Chinese Wooden Bar Cabinet – 20th Century

Carved Chinese wooden bar cabinet – 20th century
Dimensions: H 105 × W 95 × D 46 cm

An elegant, Chinese-inspired carved wooden bar cabinet, richly decorated on all sides with lively relief scenes depicting figures, pagodas, bridges, and traditional landscapes. The finely carved panels showcase remarkable cabinetmaking craftsmanship, in the style of mid-20th-century Asian designs.

Particularly ingenious, this piece opens fully to reveal an interior designed for serving drinks. The tilting front panel reveals a preparation tray with a mirrored back and glass holders, while the two side panels fold out to form additional shelves. The lower section, accessible through two doors, features compartments for storing bottles. The piece offers a serving area that is both practical and spectacular.

Resting on four carved legs, this piece features a beautiful original patina. There are some signs of use and wear on the back, which do not affect its sturdiness or its aesthetic appeal when on display.

A decorative and functional piece, ideal for an Asian-style interior, a chinoiserie-themed decor, or a cabinet of curiosities.
