Brazilian Bar In Imbuia, Roxinho & Pau Marfim With Party Motif Marquetry, 1950s

Chairish

$16,000

A museum-worthy Brazilian bar cabinet executed in three noble woods—Imbuia, Roxinho, and Pau Marfim—celebrating the decorative exuberance of 1950s Brazilian modern design. The facade features intricate marquetry depicting a festive party scene, a motif widely popular in post-war Brazil and documented in contemporary design publications of the period. The sculptural legs, subtly reminiscent of musical notation, elevate the piece beyond functional cabinetry into expressive design object. Internally, five shelves provide ample storage, while the upper surface serves as a preparation area. Party-themed marquetry pieces were emblematic of mid-century Brazilian optimism, blending craftsmanship with narrative. Published examples and period references confirm this decorative language as culturally significant. From a collector’s standpoint, this bar represents the intersection of artisanal production, iconographic storytelling, and rare material composition—an exceptional acquisition for those building serious Brazilian Modern collections.
