One, Two, Three Bars and More!!!!

Italy 1930's

Italian Art Deco bar in Rosewood and bleached Mahogany with black lacquered mustache pulls. Possibly by Guglielmo Ulrich. Fluted drawers integrated into the apron under the cabinet. This wonderful piece takes you to the glamor of old Hollywood.  Can't you just see Cary Grant or Marlene Dietrich having drinks at this bar?

Marlene Dietrich

Or maybe Jean Harlow in a slinky long white dress....Oh, Yes!!!
!940's Italian Bar


This Whimsical Walnut and Maple Bar on stand is in the style of Jean Royere. It's interior is fitted with a gallery for glasses, with clever conical balustrades holding brass railings. It has it's original key and fully functional locks.  This piece lends itself to a country villa on the coast of Italy.  Where the chic meet.

1940's Bar Cabinet by Paolo Buffa


This is a  splendid mid 1940s neoclassical yet modern bar cabinet by Paolo Buffa in a herringbone mahogany with satinwood inlay and refined brass mounts. When one opens the bar all the original mirror is decorated with stars and it takes your breath away. A similar piece is featured in the book about Buffa.  This piece belongs in a swank penthouse in Manhattan. Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair could easily dance around this piece and sip champagne.

Malachite Green Parchment & Gold Plated Bar Cart by Aldo Tura
This is a bar on the go. A Malachite Green dyed Parchment covered in lacquer with gold plated hardware  by Aldo Tura is perfect for entertaining.  007 was seen with a martini just before jumping into his Aston-Martin.
(1970's)
