A superb antique burr walnut cocktail drinks cabinet, dating from around the 1920’s period.

The quality is outstanding, the top section is burr walnut, the base is solid walnut & the insides of the cabinet are sycamore.

There is also a mirrored pull out shelf for serving drinks. The doors have etched brass escutcheons and we have a key.

There are fine carvings all over this cabinet, on the top edges and in particular on the base section, which are incredibly detailed, so please enlarge all the images to appreciate all the fine details. This cabinet is a very solid well made piece of furniture and is quite heavy.

Fortunately, it separates into two sections for easier transportation.

The condition is excellent for its age, we have just had it re-polished. There is just some minor wear and patina remaining here and there.

A cocktail cabinet on stand is a dedicated storage piece designed for holding spirits, decanters, and glassware, raised on a decorative wooden base. Popularised during the early 20th century, these cabinets were constructed to store items required for entertaining while serving as prominent decorative accent furniture.

These cabinets typically feature figurative burr walnut veneers applied over solid wood frame construction. Decorative accents often incorporate cast brass hinges, lock plates, and backplates, supported by solid hardwood bases with carved aprons and turned legs.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, genuine burr walnut veneer pattern matching across the door panels, and original patinated brass hardware. Internal fittings often include glass shelving, mirrors, or slide-out prep trays designed specifically for mixing beverages.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or dark backdrop in a dining room, living area, or formal reception space. Enhance the piece by surrounding it with contemporary abstract artwork or subtle wall lighting that highlights the natural figuring of the walnut grain.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the veneer from drying, cracking, or fading.
