Description:
This is a fine quality English Art Deco cocktail cabinet, constructed in figured walnut, circa 1930, attributed to Harry & Lou Epstein Ltd., in excellent condition. This Art Deco furniture is decorated in stunning book-marked figured walnut timbers and constructed in the shape of a “skyscraper”, with a taller central section, flanked by two lower side sections – classic Art Deco design. This Art Deco cocktail cabinet features a moulded breakfront centre, comprising two upper doors, which opens to reveal a mirrored interior. The left-hand door is furnished with a bottle opener and cork-screw. The right-hand door contains six cocktail sticks and the juicer bowl, which is secured in place on the right-hand wall. Both doors feature a small shelf, ideal for storing small bottles or glasses.
The roof section is hinged and opens to activate the interior light, which illuminates the central well. The roof is secured by its original locking stay on the left-hand side. The interior retains the original glass panels. The original internal light fitting has been re-wired, tested and a new UK plug fitted, to ensure the electrics are in good working condition.
The drawer below is constructed with mahogany linings and fine hand-dovetail joints. Further below, are two larger doors, which open to reveal a large storage area, containing a small removable shelf. The central section is also flanked by two large doors, containing three removable shelves. The doors and drawer are decorated with the original ruby colour Bakelite handles. The doors also retain their original metal sliding door bolts, with the original working brass lever locks (with key). The Art Deco drinks cabinet stands on its original rectangular shaped block moulded plinth and retains the original backboards.
The Art Deco drinks sideboard boasts classic Art Deco styling; this is evident in the curved corners and clean lines. The drinks cabinet is solid in joint and ready to use.
The Art Deco cocktail cabinet boasts a rich walnut colour; this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning it has received. The Art Deco walnut cabinet is an excellent investment and would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the living room. It would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of history.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality English Art Deco cocktail cabinet, constructed in figured walnut, circa 1930, attributed to Harry & Lou Epstein Ltd., in excellent condition. The original internal light fitting has been re-wired, tested and a new UK plug fitted, to ensure it is in excellent working condition. The mirrored glass in the interior is original, therefore shows signs of foxing (we can replace the mirrored glass with new glass if you prefer). The walnut exterior has been cleaned and French polished by hand in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent finish. The figured walnut timbers are original and in excellent overall condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The drawer interiors have also been cleaned. The drawer is in good working order and is constructed with mahogany linings and dovetail construction. The doors and drawer are decorated with its original ruby colour Bakelite handles. The doors also retain their original metal sliding door bolts and the original brass lever locks (with key). This Art Deco cocktail cabinet is solid in joint and ready to be used.

Free UK Delivery*:
We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). *We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland; for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
14-Day Free UK Returns & Refunds:
A 14-day free “no quibble” returns policy (from the date you receive the item) is available if you are not happy with this item. We will collect the item free of charge from you (we do not charge a return fee / collection fee). You will be given a full refund as long as the item is returned in the same condition. We will collect returns using our own specialist furniture delivery company. We will not accept returns via a courier service (due to experience of damaged items in transit). This refund policy only applies to deliveries to the UK.
UK Buyer Payment:
For UK buyers, we accept cash on collection or delivery; cheque, credit card, BACS (free bank to bank transfer) or PayPal. Payment is requested within 5 days of the sale. Payment must be cleared before the items are collected or delivered.
International Buyers:
If you live outside the UK and you would like to purchase this item, please contact us before purchasing it, so that we can obtain an accurate shipping quote and delivery lead-time. The shipping quote provided is a global estimate only. The actual shipping cost will vary by country and postcode. Due to the distances and costs involved with shipping outside the UK, a returns policy is therefore not available for international buyers. Before placing your order(s) please make sure this is the item for you. We request payment by bank transfer (we do not accept payment via PayPal, credit or debit cards for international purchases). Payment is requested within 10 days of the purchase. Payment must be cleared before the items are collected or delivered to our shippers.
