Lighted Custom Made Mid-Century Modern Cherry Wood Credenza Dry Bar

About the Item

Please believe me when I say pictures don't this piece justice. The cherry wood shimmers and gleams with an almost indescribable Iridescence that looks like rivers of honey that form the ebbing and flowing grain. The tones and hues of the piece change depending on how the light hits it and where your eye catches it. You'll see amber, ochre, honey, and umber. We purchased this cabinet from the son of the original owners who had it custom made in the 1970's. Although it looks similar to the works to Jens Risom, Arne Vodder, and Brown-Saltman, this is a custom, made 1 of 1 credenza. There are many unique aspects to this piece that seem inspired by many designers of the period. A large cherry door on the left conceals open cabinet space with removable / adjustable shelves. The right has a faux-door panel that is made to resemble the one on the left. However, this faux-door is actually the front panel to a roll-out bar cart. This handsome server sports two drop-leaves that double its counter space. This mini buffet is perfectly suited for beverage or snack service. The cart is perfectly concealed and we tip our hats to the clever craftsman who concocted this practical deception. The middle section is a lighted wine bottle display with plenty of space for your collection. This piece was designed for serious storage. The exceptional length is the perfect dimension for your flat screen TV if you choose to use this as a media cabinet. A true masterpiece mix of solid cherry and cherry veneer over plywood core. The construction, materials, fit and finish exhibit a quality seldom seen, even from respected makers. Fully restored, with only very minor imperfections. Dimensions: 21.63" D x 36" H x 72" L

  • Thomasville Embassy Wood Inlay Asian Modern Campaign Style Brass Accent Credenza
    By Henredon, Drexel, Dorothy Draper, Thomasville
    Located in Chattanooga, TN
    Dorothy Draper style campaign credenza made by esteemed US furniture maker Thomasville circa 1970s. Old growth flaxen flared grain fruitwood (most likely pecan) from top to bottom are the hallmarks of the Embassy line. Black lacquer accents and brass pull hardware tie together British traditional and Eastern design. The door facades exhibit a diamond pattern wood inlay with contrasting color tones, presented tastefully to demonstrate a delicate ornate sensibility. Two large Interior cabinet spaces offer heaps of open storage with a single stationary shelf in each bay. No composite or MDF anywhere on this campaign credenza. Thomasville used a combination of solid hardwood interiors, solid fruitwood and veneers. We purchased this from the original owners out of time-capsule estate and nearly everything in the home was from the Thomasville Embassy...
