This 1920s Art Deco demi-lune cocktail cabinet is a striking piece of craftsmanship that blends opulence and geometric elegance, typical of the Art Deco era. This specific cabinet is characterized by its sleek, half-moon shape, which gives it a graceful yet functional silhouette, perfect for displaying or storing bottles and glassware in style.

The exterior of the cabinet features book-matched walnut veneers, a refined technique where the wood grains mirror each other, creating a symmetrical, flowing pattern across the surface. The walnut’s rich, dark brown tones are enhanced by hand-painted accents in matte black, offering a dramatic contrast that adds depth and sophistication. These hand-painted details take the form of geometric shapes and subtle linear patterns, typical of the bold yet refined Art Deco aesthetic.

Inside, the cabinet boasts bird’s eye maple shelves.  Maple veneer is renowned for its delicate, cloud-like grain pattern. The pale, honey-toned maple provides a stunning visual contrast to the darker exterior, while also adding an element of lightness and warmth to the interior. The hand-painted designs within the cabinet evoke the geometric and stylized motifs of the era - clean lines, symmetrical patterns, with vibrant accents in gold and antique bronze, enhancing the visual appeal of the interior and giving it the glamour typical of the style.

This cocktail cabinet is totally unique  and is both sumptuous and functional, embodying the Art Deco movement's love for luxury, craftsmanship, and sleek design. It would make a striking statement piece in any room, blending both form and function beautifully.

I use durable paints and varnish to ensure that this antique item is going to last another lifetime.  I take great pride in my workmanship and great care to ensure that as well as being beautiful and unique, this item is in immaculate condition.  The hinges are new as are the mirrors.  I source only pieces which are in excellent vintage condition as to me, function is as important as form!
