Antique/Vintage Furniture

Art Deco Waterfall Style Sideboard/Drinks Cabinet

An Art Deco period composite cabinet, likely of Australian or British origin, dating approximately to the late 1930s or 1940s. The piece features a 'waterfall' rounded edge on the top right section and is constructed from a combination of solid wood and veneers with a dark walnut-toned finish. The left section consists of a display cabinet with a hinged glass door, notably featuring a frosted/etched glass motif of a stylistic leaping gazelle, a classic Art Deco trope. The right section comprises two horizontal drawers with bowed fronts and a double-door lower storage cupboard. Distinctive mid-century hardware is present, including curved, two-tone plastic or bakelite and metal pull handles. The condition is fair to poor, showing significant surface wear. Notable issues include extensive finish loss, scratches and scuffs across the facade, and possible water damage or moisture bloom to the top surface. The lower door features a keyed lock, though no key is visible. The craftsmanship suggests mass-production from the mid-20th century, utilizing bent-wood techniques for the curved top and veneered panels for the drawer fronts.
