Dry Bar Cabinet Appraisal

Vintage Roll-Top Secretary Desk and Dry Bar Cabinet

This is a vintage-style roll-top secretary desk or storage cabinet, likely manufactured in the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece is constructed from wood and wood veneers with a deep dark walnut or espresso finish. It features a distinctive tambour/slat-style roll-top upper section that would slide back to reveal an interior workspace or storage area. Below the roll-top is a single wide drawer adorned with an ornate, cast-metal bail pull handle in a classic swing style. The bottom section consists of two cabinet doors decorated with recessed, scrolling 'Maltese' or 'Spanish Revival' style paneling, reflecting 1970s Mediterranean influence. The doors are fitted with vertically oriented, decorative metal turned-post pulls. The cabinet is built on a solid plinth base, giving it a sturdy, grounded appearance. The wood grain visible on the doors suggests a figured laminate or veneer rather than solid hardwood throughout. Regarding its condition, there are visible surface scuffs, particularly white marks on the left side of the drawer front and some edge wear along the side panels. The finish remains largely intact and uniform, showing a moderate semi-gloss patina consistent with household utility furniture from the late 20th century.
