NOS Bar Cabinet - Andre Arbus Collection, Made Exclusively by William Switzer - $8,000 - (Las Vegas, NV)
In 2005, William Switzer obtained the exclusive rights to reproduce the works of Andre Arbus. This is from Series A and numbered "278." It appears to be a bar cabinet that you would place a sheet of marble or granite on top of. The renaissance revival style marquetry is absolutely exquisite. I received it crated and unused from an auction in Las Vegas, NV, believing it to be stored new old stock from the Venetian Hotel. The woodwork is absolutely exquisite. Information about William Switzer from their website:We honour fine furniture as a fine art. Guided by established principles of taste and following traditional craftsmanship, we create antique reproductions of furniture that has graced the most stately homes in European history. Each antique reproduction is handmade in Valencia or Florence, using exotic woods such as Macassar, Ebony and Cotibe. Each artisan has spent decades adapting their eye and perfecting their skills. In Switzer workrooms, everything is fashioned, fit, and finished by hand. We have had years to develop fingertip intelligence that understands the grain of the wood, the lustre of the polish, and the cut of the cloth. A respect for tradition, for quality, and for the wood itself dictates our old-world approach to cabinetmaking. There are no nails or screws to hold the frames together—just perfectly shaped pegs and holes bonded with glue. Frames are received in our Vancouver warehouse, where master finishers complete them to the designer's specs. They are skilled in the traditions of hand-carving, staining, leafing, lacquer, and French polishing—and experts in the lost arts of chinoiserie, marquetry, and inlays.It measures 64" x 34.5 (30" without legs) x 28". lessDETAILSDimensions64"W × 28"D × 34.5"HPeriod2000sStylesRenaissance RevivalBrandWilliam SwitzerPlace of OriginWestern EuropeMaterialsWoodConditionNot Used, Original Condition Unaltered, Some ImperfectionsCondition NotesVery slight, otherwise perfect condition.
