Mirrored Cocktail Cabinet By Rupert Bevan
Commissioned by boutique hotels and private clients all over the world, furniture maker Rupert Bevan is known both for recreating important period pieces and for his classic modern designs.
Inspired by the golden era of the 1920’s, the bespoke cocktail cabinet featured here, was commissioned recently for a deco beach house:
Strikingly tall, it is faced in antiqued mirror glass and has a patinated brass cornice and plinth.
The stainless steel handles are leather wrapped and hand sewn.
Internally too, this cabinet is the height of luxury: mirror-backed and fitted out with lacquered wooden drawers, plate glass shelving and patinated brass railings, it glitters with internal light.
A small fridge completes the set- up for a perfect cocktail.
Cabinet shown here:
Height – 1705mm
Width – 980mm
Depth – 510mm
Made to order, priced from £10,000 depending on size, finish and detailing.
