Gordons Wine Bar Appraisal

Wood Bar Cabinet or Wine Rack

The item is a small, freestanding wooden bar cabinet or wine rack, crafted primarily from a medium-toned hardwood, likely oak or a similar species, given its grain and color. The finish appears to be a natural or light stain with a protective coating, showing some signs of wear and surface scratches consistent with use and age. The cabinet features a flat top surface, which currently holds several decorative and functional items, indicating its use as a display or serving area. Below the top, there is a small brass or gold-toned plaque on the front apron that reads 'Wine Cellar,' suggesting its intended purpose. To the right side of this plaque, a brass-colored metal wall-mounted bottle opener, embossed with the 'Coca-Cola' logo, is affixed to the cabinet's side panel. The central section of the cabinet is an open bay designed to hold wine bottles horizontally, with two levels of crescent-shaped cutouts. Below this wine rack section, there is a lower storage compartment enclosed by a hinged wooden door. The hardware on this door, as well as on a visible adjacent door on the left side (partially cropped), consists of decorative brass-toned hinges and circular knobs. The overall style suggests a rustic or traditional aesthetic, possibly from the mid to late 20th century. There are no obvious signs of severe damage, but general surface wear and a light patina are visible on the wood and metal components.
