Antique Burr Walnut Cocktail Drinks Cabinet

1900 - 1920
Description

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.

This Queen Anne Revival cocktail drinks cabinet dates from the 1920 period. The upper section consists of a warm brown burr walnut veneer with an intricate pattern, complemented by solid walnut and sycamore interiors, while the base section is crafted from solid walnut. The cabinet features two large upper cabinet doors fitted with ornate brass strap hinges, etched brass escutcheons, and a central decorative brass lock plate, alongside two lower frieze drawers with drop handles. The base is supported by turned legs connected by a heavily carved openwork stretcher and detailed feet. Minor age-related wear and patina remain despite recent repolishing, and the whole piece separates into two distinct sections. Measuring 117 cm high, 98 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, it provides a functional storage and serving solution. Suitable for placement in a gentleman's library, living room, or dedicated entertaining space, the cabinet functions well as a practical drinks station. The two lower drawers offer storage for bar accessories, glassware, or smaller items, while the upper compartment accommodates bottles and barware. The elevated stand design allows the piece to integrate easily into traditional or period-inspired interiors as a focal point for mixing and serving beverages. Its dual-part construction assists with positioning within the home, making it a versatile addition to rooms dedicated to social gatherings or relaxation.

FAQs

Cocktail cabinets gained popularity in the 1920s and 1930s as dedicated home storage for glassware, spirits, and bar accessories. Often crafted with decorative veneers and elaborate stands, they served as a focal point for entertaining guests in private residences.

These cabinets feature highly figured burr walnut veneers applied over a solid timber frame, paired with ornate brass strap hinges, escutcheons, and backplates. The carved base and turned legs are usually constructed from solid walnut or beech to support the upper cupboard.

Authentic early to mid-20th-century pieces feature hand-applied veneers, solid brass hardware with natural oxidisation, dovetail drawer joints, and interior details such as mirror-lined cupboards or built-in mixing shelves.

Position the cabinet against a neutral feature wall to highlight the rich timber figure and brass details. Incorporate modern glass accessories on top or flank it with minimalist lighting to balance the intricate traditional carving with contemporary lines.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax sparingly along the grain to maintain the timbers sheen. Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent veneer cracking or fading.
