1946 Bespoke Handmade Art Deco Bar Engraved Bevel Mirror, Early 20th Century A
About the Item
This incredible Art Deco bar was handmade and installed in an apartment in St Johns Wood in London in 1946 and has remained there until the death of its owner.
It is beautifully crafted from finely carved wood and top grade veneers and the mirrors have a bevel edge with engraved figures and curlicues in them.
The bar front is approximate 250cm long + a 50cm pop up flap at the right hand end for entry and the bar back is approximate 260cm long (130cm aside)- there are a row of 4 cupboards with doors under the mirrors at back and 4 open cupboards under the bar top.
The rear bar with mirrors height itself is approximate 216cm tall. The bar top is approximate 1m deep.
This is a unique piece of UK postwar history handmade by English craftsmen of the time and it is in very good condition for its age - the mirror glass shows some frosting from age.
The engravings are beautifully done and a lot of love was put into the design and construction of the bar itself.
It has some electrics for lighting but they will need replacing with modern wiring depending on the regulations at your location.
We will fully repolish the bar for you prior to shipping and check for structural stability which will take 10-12 weeks as its a huge piece and deal with any splits in the veneers or other issues caused by age.
It will ship in sections - main bar front , small bar front , back shelving unit , back boards,, mirrors and you will need to assemble it on arrival
