English Art Deco Stationary Envelope Bar of Superb Burl Walnut, Circa 1930’s…

This most unusual ‘fold-open’ bar features gorgeous European bookmatched crown-cut & burl walnut veneers over rich mahogany and a cedar backing & bottom.  ( What strange images do you see within these intriguing veneer patterns? )  Unlike the typical portable envelope bars, this version rests stationary against a wall.  ( Casters can be added if you wish to make it portable. )  The top is hinged and folds open to reveal a stain-free formica top of faux white marble that rests on two small door panels that swing-out from the sides for support.  The bar service is lined in the same rich ribbon mahogany, features a mirrored drop-down door with a spectacular Deco brass pull and original reverse-painted striped mirrors on the bottom & drop-down door and a clear mirror on the back.  The original light fixture has been rewired for American circuit and illuminates via a push-button switch.  The bottom storage area is also lined in ribbon mahogany, provides ample room for plenty of bottles & barware, includes a nice wooden shelf and is accesible via two double doors that can be locked with the original barrel key.
