French Art Deco Sideboard | Bar

Closed, it is a sideboard. Open, it has plans for your evening.

This French Art Deco sideboard and bar comes from France and dates to about 1930. It is walnut and maple with bronze. Sideboards of this kind were made for French dining rooms of the period, storing linen, glasses and bottles and serving drinks to guests. Two pedestals stand at either side, doors swung open on shelves and pull-out trays, with pale zigzag banding and key-pattern feet. A central drawer carries a carved panel in lighter wood between two metal drop pulls. Just under seventy-three inches long and forty high.

The fitted trays leave little doubt about its priorities.
