About the Piece:

A unique and beautifully finished Beautility drinks cabinet, guaranteed to make a statement. This iconic cabinet is perfect for a household that enjoys throwing glamorous parties. Manufactured in the 1960’s by renowned British furniture makers Beautility, this Art Deco style cabinet has been stripped back, cleaned and refinished in a modern Art Deco style.

The cabinet top and cupboard fronts have been fully restored and oiled with Polix-Oil from Osmo to add protection and durability, whilst also highlighting the gorgeous walnut wood grain. The exterior has been hand-painted with Frenchic “Steel Teal” and decoupaged with a beautiful champagne gold Art Deco-inspired wallpaper. These areas have been finished in a satin clear sealer for added durability and protection.

The interior of the cabinet has been painted with a beautiful shade Plum from Autentico Paints. The middle drop-down door reveals a lovely display area, ideal for serving drinks and cocktails. It retains all the original features with the mirrored back, small glass shelf and wonderful gold Art Deco stencilling along the bottom with gold striped Beautility design and logo. Inside the bar section, the original light fitting remains, which has been upgraded to an energy-efficient LED bulb and modern standard wiring and plug. The opening of the drop-down door triggers this internal light to come on. There are two cupboards on either side of the mini bar, which offer plenty of storage for your glassware. Each cupboard contains a shelf in the middle which has been covered in the same design wallpaper.

The handles have been cleaned, restored and touched up with gold. The two top drawers and bottom drawers have been lined inside with the same champagne wallpaper used on the external of the cabinet and one of the top drawers has a cutlery divider. The legs have been replaced with typical Mid Century style black tapered legs.

This amazing piece of vintage furniture is certainly a statement piece that you will not find on the High Street. This is truly a one-off that will look magnificent in any setting and will certainly wow your guests!

FINAL NOTE

All our work is refinished with care and attention to detail using good quality materials and furniture paints. We source quality pieces of outdated & unwanted pieces of furniture and bring them back to life in unique and creative ways.

As with all pre-loved furniture, they may show evidence of their past life with the occasional dent or imperfection. Major imperfections are always addressed and repaired to a high standard, but we believe small marks tell the story of the piece’s history and add to its charm. As this item is hand-painted and hand-finished, it may also show faint brush marks, imperfections and texture, which we hope you agree adds to the uniqueness and character of the piece. Please also note that due to lighting, colours may vary slightly from those in the photos. Please kindly keep this in mind during your purchase.
