Mahogany Surprise Drinks Cabinet with Cantilever Interior, Circa 1910
An ingenious early 20th-century mahogany "surprise" drinks cabinet, made in the UK circa 1910. Its twin-hinged, well-figured lid opens to set a cantilever interior into motion, presenting an array of glasses and decanters as if from nowhere. A moulded frieze beneath houses a drawer, and the cabinet stands on four elegant tapering legs ending in castors for easy movement. Closed, it reads as a handsome occasional table; opened, it's a fully fitted bar — a charming and practical conversation piece for any room.
