Vladimir Kagan One-of-a-Kind Credenza with Carved Center Panels 1940s (Signed)

Creator: Vladimir Kagan
Offered by: Lobel Modern, Inc.

Description
Extraordinary one-of-a-kind large credenza in walnut with hand-carved center panels with illuminated interior liquor cabinet and bar in the center, dark gray granite inset tops, and flip up top for serving by Vladimir Kagan, 1940's (signed “Kagan Dreyfuss New York / A Vladimir Kagan Design” on back). This is a very rare Kagan masterpiece. The relief carved panels are simply incredible. The bar area shelves are in white laminate so they are impervious to water/alcohol damage, as is the flip up top. There are 2 original florescent lights which are operated with a switch inside. It comes with original keys. We have never seen another example like this one.
