About the Item

Amazing Art Deco New York dry bar cabinet inlaid with exotic woods with a skyline view of NY from the New Jersey side. Exotic woods in different tones are used to depict the booming skyline as well as a pair of black steamer ships coming into port and a barge centered in the middle of the doors. Floating above are symbols of a party time New York filled with renewed promise, a top hat, cocktail glass, masquerade ball mask and card inlaid with a red heart suit. The "cherry" in the glass and the "heart" in the cards are represented in a stained red tone and are the only additions of color on the frieze. Really cool and amazing depiction by an unknown artisan/craftsman embracing the Art Deco Jazz Era aesthetic, with tiger maple wrapped around the entire cabinet side to side. Doors open to reveal a dark varnished stepped interior perfect for martini glasses and cocktail shakers. A pull out "shelf" tray measuring 18.5" x 12" allows user to place items while preparing drinks. The quintessential New York Art Deco Dry Bar Cabinet with wonderful craftsmanship, 1930's, USA. Cabinet was professionally refinished about 15 years ago. Recently we were informed that this cabinet was created by Aldolpho Baldizzi, a previous resident of a building on Orchard St. which now houses the Tenement Museum in NYC. He was a master wood worker who specialized in inlay who emigrated from Italy in the during the Great Depression. One of the first apartments the Museum recreated was for the Baldizzi family, immigrants from Italy who raised their two children on the Lower East Side during the Great Depression. He made home bars on the Bowery and created items also for retailer B. Altman's in the period.
