The ultimate conversation piece, which is also very utilitarian, this beautiful chinoiserie Asian bar folds out on the top to create additional working area, and opens to reveal numerous areas for storage.

Both the outside and interior of this piece show numerous carved 3D mother-of-pearl appliques depicting beautiful geishas, temples, and other designs. Hand-painted patterned designs, vivid lily pads and flowers, birds, and other designs ordain the top, sides, and even interior of the bar.

On the inside, a block with slots for bottles can be removed for additional open storage if desired. One of the most intriguing aspects of the piece is an internal carousel behind another ornately designed door. Two drawers can hold napkins or other bar tools, while the doors hold various glasses or bottles.
