Bamboo and rattan bar cabinet or tiki-style sideboard
Estimated Value
$300-$900
Large decorative bamboo and rattan cabinet with a curved, rounded top and woven cane side panels. The front and sides feature a tropical or tiki-inspired design typical of mid-century resort furniture. The piece appears to be mounted on a rolling dolly for transport, which is likely not original to the cabinet. The craftsmanship suggests mass-produced decorative furniture rather than a high-end bespoke antique, though it has strong period character and visual appeal.
