ANTIQUE 20thC ART DECO "DEMI LUNE" COCKTAIL CABINET c.1920

This 1920s Art Deco demi-lune cocktail cabinet is a striking example of the era’s signature marriage of luxury and geometry. Its elegant half-moon silhouette provides a sculptural presence while serving a practical purpose—ideal for displaying or storing bottles and glassware. The exterior features book-matched walnut veneers, creating a symmetrical grain pattern that flows seamlessly across the surface. Rich, dark brown tones are accented with matte black, hand-painted geometric motifs, evoking the bold visual language of the Art Deco style. Original hardware remains in place, contributing to the cabinet’s period authenticity.

The interior contrasts beautifully with the exterior, featuring shelves made from bird’s eye maple veneer, prized for its delicate, swirling grain and pale honey tone. This light interior brightens the overall composition and enhances the cabinet’s visual appeal. Hand-painted embellishments in gold and antique bronze add further stylistic detail, drawing on the clean lines and symmetry typical of the period. Newly installed mirrors increase both function and depth, while the cabinet’s overall condition is excellent. With its blend of fine materials, thoughtful design, and careful restoration, this piece offers a refined combination of style and utility.
