FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric lines, luxurious materials, and a focus on modernity and glamour. Cocktail cabinets from this era often featured exotic veneers, mirrored interiors, and oriental motifs like Chinoiserie lacquering.

These pieces were typically built using a solid timber carcase overlaid with fine wood veneers or coated in multiple layers of hand-applied lacquer. Artisans often incorporated hand-painted gilt detailing, brass hardware, and fitted mirrored glass serving surfaces.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional construction methods such as dovetail joints in the drawers, period-appropriate locking mechanisms, hand-applied lacquer finishes with natural ageing crazing, and genuine manufacturer stamps or marks from the era.

Position the cabinet as a focal point in a living room or dining area, styled with vintage glassware, a cocktail shaker, and striking decorative accessories on top. Its rich textures and bold motifs provide a sophisticated contrast to minimalist modern backdrops.

Maintain the finish by keeping the cabinet out of direct sunlight to prevent lacquer discolouration and fading. Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or excess moisture.
