A elegant, compact and considered corner display /drinks cabinet, blending refined mid-century proportions with quietly practical function.

Elevated on tapered legs with brass capped feet, gold trim around the features, and finished in richly toned Sapele Mahogany. The piece combines a glass upper display section with a lower lockable drop down drinks cabinet, offering an elegant balance between display and concealed storage.

The upper cabinet is enclosed in its original glass, creating a light, floating feel while beautifully showcasing glassware, ceramics, collectables, or a curated drinks display.

Fits snugly into a corner which allows pieces to be appreciated from multiple angles, while mirrored detailing internally that adds depth and atmosphere. The glass doors remains intact, with only slight, age-related wear consistent with its vintage origin and not detracting from its presentation.

Below, the drop-down cabinet introduces a more playful and functional element, ideal for storing bottles, bar accessories, or smaller serving pieces. A new handle has been fitted, and the cabinet retains its original locking function.

Condition:

Fully restored, structurally sound and in good restored condition. Original glass & mirrored back remains intact; note sliver grazing on the internal glass shelves (not very noticeable if fitted). There is slight evidence of age-related wear to the back of the cabinet, but this is not visible at all once placed. Locking mechanism in working order.

Dimensions:

81.5cm W (corner to corner at the widest section) x 50cm D x  146cm H

Note/Disclaimer:

Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.

Transport & Handling Note:

All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.

Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping glass items outside of Gauteng.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
