Mid-20th Century Queen Anne Style Mahogany Veneered Cocktail and Display Cabinet - A mid-20th century cocktail and drinks cabinet in the Queen Anne revival style, constructed as a single-piece unit. The upper section features twin drop-down doors with arched tops, fitted with ornate brass-effect foliate handles and supported by metal drop-stays. The interior of the upper section is mirrored to the back and sides, while the inner faces of the fall-front doors are inset with black glass panels decorated with a gilt trellis or lozenge pattern. The lower section comprises a pair of glazed doors with wooden astragals forming arched panes, opening to a display area containing a single glass shelf. The cabinet is finished in mahogany veneers with a dark stain and includes a lock and key for the lower section. The design is characteristic of English furniture from the 1930s to 1950s, resembling the work of manufacturers such as Turnidge of London, although no maker's marks or labels are visible.
