Description Auction details Terms & conditions Important information

35.5 x 23.5 x 12 In.

A striking and architecturally inspired Art Deco storage cabinet, likely functioning as a compactum or dry bar. The bold silhouette is defined by its pronounced, stepped "skyscraper" cornice and softly rounded front corners, a direct nod to 1930s American urbanism.

The richly figured doors are ornamented with a powerful concentric circular motif and horizontal banding in contrasting veneer, a graphical design that celebrates the Machine Age. Its strong visual presence and streamlined aesthetic make it a particularly desirable piece of Indian Art Deco.
