About the Item
Step into the world of timeless elegance with this exquisite bar cabinet, attributed to the renowned Pietro Chiesa and crafted by Fontana Arte in the 1950s. Every aspect of this piece whispers sophistication and artistry, making it a true treasure for any discerning person.
The two opening doors, adorned in pink mirror with intricate engravings, tell a story of their own. These engravings, depicting bottles and various elements, leave no doubt about the cabinet's purpose – it is a sanctuary for libations, a true bar cabinet that exudes class and style. As you swing open those doors, you'll discover brass shelves adorned with small mirror glass elements, a subtle yet captivating detail that adds to the cabinet's allure.
But that's not all. Inside, the magic continues to unfold. Brass shelves grace the interior, and at the center, a backlit plexiglass element awaits, adorned with decorative elements that dance in the soft glow of light. It's a sight to behold, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece.
And for added practicality, there's a drawer beneath the two doors, easily pulled out with a round knob, offering a convenient space to store your bar essentials.
The cabinet's charm doesn't stop there. Its two pyramid-shaped legs elevate it to a level of unparalleled grace. The frame, crafted from noble wood, adds warmth and character to the piece, showcasing the seamless marriage of form and function. Bringing this bar cabinet into your home isn't just about acquiring a piece of furniture; it's about owning a work of art. It's an embodiment of Italian design history from the 1940s-50s, a period known for its innovation and elegance. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of craftsmen like Pietro Chiesa, whose creations continue to inspire awe and admiration.

- Fine Carved and Ebonized Bar CabinetLocated in Milano, ITSplendid 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.
