Mid-Century Modern Stereo Console Record Player amp bluetooth lk eames
Located in Madison, WI
“If art decorates space… and music is the art that decorates time, then our vintage stereo consoles decorate lives by accentuating both.” Groovy Wood Studios This console: This is a console refurbished by Groovy Wood Studios. We acquire our pieces from very reliable, established, and trustworthy sources. We offer them in various configurations and also offer a multitude of customizations during or after the sale here. We are the epitome of the vintage bespoke restoration reseller. Its a real nice Grundig consolette that has had the turntable replaced with new, a new amp sending the sound to the internal speakers, and we added a bluetooth adapter so you can stream to this from your favorite smart devices. The German old original radio is left for aesthetics, but does not operate. About our Consoles… Groovy Wood Studios has a long tradition of exceeding customer expectations. And recently to the delight of Paramount Pictures by supplying them with 2 stereo consoles to their IF (Imaginary Friends) movie starring Ryan Reynolds. We also recently shipped a very prestigious console to the MOMA (museum of modern art) for display and reproduction use. Quality runs deep and this craftsmanship shows in every piece we sell. We take great pride in delivering the same excellence to well known customers and institutions and the normal populace like you and me. Hard to believe that in such a short 4 years time, Groovy Wood Studios has acquired, refurbished, rebuilt and delivered almost 800 stereo consoles now. They're not the best because they are the biggest, they are the biggest because they are the best. A word about our pricing… We are not sure why this site has a poorly designed and defined price guide/meter, as we find it to be terribly misleading. In no way, shape or form is it accurate. It does not take into account the rarity, the refurbishment and the options of our pieces. It is based on some AI algorithm and keyword and ends up misleading customers. We know we have been market makers in this niche of mid century consoles. We know what it takes to acquire the pieces that we do, ship them in, put in an average of 60 hours in the refurbishment of them and prepare them for their next home. We apologize for the developers of this site and their erroneous attempt to assist. But their data is far off from reality. Our approach is to put out heritage pieces at prices that represent fair market value. And after selling 800 pieces in the past 4 years, I think we are on to something special. Our 1stDibs storefront… While you may have stumbled upon one console listing, realize we have many listed here. While we do have a robust storefront here, please note we have over 100 consoles...

Stunning Antique Gothic Style Dark Oak Cabinet w. Handcarved Medieval Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Marvelous, truly Medieval looking and practical Gothic Revival (drinks) cabinet and/or pedestal stand. This rare Dutch Gothic cabinet is in excellent condition, it comes with some of the most amazing, church window-like, carved panels (all around) and thanks to its unique design it can be used for all kinds of purposes. The entire look and feel of this antique cabinet combined with the quality of the carvings is so good that people will want to stop, touch and stare at it and it will never fail to impress. All four walls of this architecural Gothic cabinet are made of solid oak panels with deep and very intricate Gothic carvings. Standing on church pillars on the outside of every corner of this cabinet also are sculptures of stereotypical figures in Medieval times. Apart from some truly minor imperfections this top quality workmanship cabinet could hardly be in better condition, both inside and out. The shape and color of the cast iron, Gothic design lock plate and the wrought iron, Gothic design hinges also perfectly complement the ancient style of this antique eye-catcher. This truly is a glorious antique to come home to, either as a hallway cabinet, as a drinks cabinet, as a pedestal stand for a large Saint statue...

Antique, New and Vintage Dry Bars

The name “dry bar” can be a bit of a misnomer. After all, the last thing you would want a bar to do is run dry. In this case, the “dry” descriptor in your antique or vintage dry bar doesn’t refer to a lack of drinks. Instead, it serves to differentiate dry-bar furniture from wet-bar installations. The latter is typically a permanent fixture in a home, requiring plumbing to support a built-in sink.

In short, a dry bar is a piece of furniture or tabletop area that you’ve built into your space for mixing cocktails and storing everything needed —bottles, barware and other accessories — for the intoxicating in-home bar you’ve designed.

Some dry bars were built with minimalism in mind. Those crafted by designers associated with mid-century modernism or Scandinvanian modern, for example, likely looked to these as practical furnishings to serve as a cabinet or case piece. But there have been decorative and even outwardly sculptural interpretations by Art Deco furniture makers and those working in the Hollywood Regency style over the years.

No matter what kind of antique, new or vintage dry bar fits your space, these versatile furnishings can definitely elevate your home bar area as well as your hosting. We’ll toast to that!

Find your dry bar as well as all the barware you need on 1stDibs.
