circa: 1960 width: 36 height: 39 length: 17 This gorgeous mahogany drinks cabinet was English-made around 1960 and recently imported to our furniture showroom here in Atlanta, GA. Today, the flame mahogany remains quite beautiful, with a rich complexion and a striking grain, while the shaped apron and cabriole legs look rather elegant. Traditional acanthus leaf and shell carvings adorn the leg joints and center of the apron, respectively. The elaborate brass escutcheon complements the flame mahogany beautifully, and inside of this charming little drinks cabinet is plenty of storage space. The interior even contains a light, which needs rewiring to function here in the U.S. Structurally, condition remains excellent, and cosmetically, there is only one flaw of note, which is a small irregularity in the veneer on one side (see picture below). Also, originally, the piece would have had glass that fit in the recess on the top of the piece to protect it from liquid spills, but is no longer there. Overall, therefore, this antique style drinks cabinet remains in very good condition.
