Rare Bar Cabinet in Wood and Copper by Luigi Scremin, published
About the Item
A magnificent and unique wood, leather and copper bar cabinet designed by Luigi Scremin in 1948. This exceptional piece, signed by Luigi Scremin with a leather engraving at the top, is a rare creation originally made as a one-of-a-kind for Scremin's showrooms, further authenticated by an attached documented publication.
The design of the bar cabinet evokes the shape of a medieval casket or tower, exuding grandeur and mystery. The front is embellished with a stunning copper-embossed bas-relief sculpture by renowned artist Primo Bidischini, depicting a commander in minute detail, complete with helmet and uniform. This artistic element elevates the cabinet to a work of art elegance and importance.
The interior is equally remarkable. Accessible through a flap door that opens with a key, the cabinet reveals a copper-lined interior with a carved copper bottle tray. This luxurious interior is a demonstration of impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, offering functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The exterior is upholstered in immaculate white leather or parchment, giving the cabinet a refined and luxurious appearance. The curved sides, made of elegantly polished wood, add to its sophistication. The top of the cabinet is surrounded by brass accents designed to resemble the battlements of a medieval tower, reinforcing its chest design. The entire piece rests on beautifully carved geometric legs, enhancing its architectural elegance.
This unique bar cabinet is a testament to mid-century Italian craftsmanship and is perfectly suited to classic and elegant interiors. Its rare design, luxurious materials and artistic features make it a unique piece, ideal for those seeking a functional yet exquisitely decorative addition to their living spaces. A true collector's item, it combines timeless beauty with unparalleled attention to detail.

The single door covered in embossed copper and signed at lower left by Primo Bidischini (1907-1981) is similar to the large works by the same artist in the ship's game room and First Class lounges designed by Anna Costa to a design by Nino Zoncada (Domus, September 1948, 228, page 52).

Fine Carved and Ebonized Bar Cabinet
Located in Milano, IT
Splendid bar cabinet designed in the 1920s, of fine Italian craftsmanship, with great mastery of woodwork.
The cabinet has two legs at the base that cover the entire depth of the base. The feet are made of wood and have a style that is, to say the least, classical, reminiscent of ancient Greek structures; they are made of white-painted grisaille wood.
The central body has a very massive rectangular shape. Both the base and the top are bevelled and have a frame that protrudes, like the friezes on the columns.
The top is framed by a very classical Greek fret in white painted wood. The base, on the other hand, is made entirely of ebonised wood, which gives an even more sumptuous effect.
The cabinet at the front displays two doors that can be opened by means of a brass key in original patina. Each door is decorated with a rectangular antique Greek frame...
